He said those at the center of the looting spree were cabinet and principal secretaries.
Gachagua who spoke during a church service in Nairobi said in the next coming days he will be releasing a detailed report on the CSs and PSs who were involved in the looting of the funds.
“In the next few days, I will be releasing details of billions of shillings looted from the public coffers in the last three months of the last administration. I will announce the ministers and the PSs responsible so that Kenyans can know,” Gachagua said.
The DP also alleged that the plan to move to the Supreme Court to challenge the declaration of William Ruto as the President-elect was a plot to get more time to empty the coffers.
According to Gachagua, more than Sh24 billion was looted between the time IEBC announced Ruto as President and the day he was sworn in.
“Hiyo kesi walijua hakuna mahali inaenda, ilikuwa kesi imewekwa ndio wapore mali waende,” he said.
“Saa ile waliona uchaguzi imeharibika walibeba na magunia. To allow them room wakati ya Supreme Court inaskiza kesi waibe pesa ya Kenya.”
Two days earlier, while speaking during an event in Serena Hotel, Nairobi, the Deputy President had alleged that top officials in the previous administration had stolen Sh16 billion before President Ruto was sworn in.
He claimed Sh10 billion was stolen during the Presidential election petition while another Sh6 billion was pilfered two days before the August 9 polls.
In the sensational revelations, the second-in-command further claimed Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party leader Raila Odinga was forced to file the petition against his wishes. The DP claimed the presidential petition before the Supreme Court was used as a smokescreen by the “Uhuru men” to wipe clean the country’s coffers.
“When they saw the election was not going their way, they carted away the billions in sacks. [Raila didn’t want] the petition, He was forced to lodge it to allow them …to loot more public resources,” said the 58-year-old.
The DP further alleged that the police air wing at Wilson Airport was where the money was being received before being loaded onto an airplane
to be taken to people’s homes.
