Kenyan President Ruto Denies Secret Meetings With Al-Shabaab

President William Ruto has dismissed opposition allegations that he held meetings with the Al-Shabaab terrorist group during a visit to the country's northeastern region. Ruto said the claims were "politically motivated" and designed to sabotage his development agenda.

In what appeared to be a veiled attack on his former deputy and vocal critic, Rigathi Gachagua, who first made the claims in 2025, Ruto said the opposition lacks constructive ideas and exploits the youth for political gain.
