DP Ruto and MP Rigathi Gachagua.

Kenyans on witnessed a chaotic Wednesday morning when Twitter went up in flames with the #RigathisStealingWife trend. Unlike previous online topics targeting politicians, this one went for spouse of Rigathi Gachagua, the Mathira MP. The outspoken Tanga Tanga legislator has been on the headlines over what investigative agencies claim to be fraud, involving up to 5 billion shillings and his wife, Dorcas, played a major role.

Here are some of the Tweets we captured from Kenyans:

The R in Ruto stands for Corruption. The R in Rigathi Gachagua stands for corruption. The R in Kuria stands for corruption. Birds of the same feather flock together.

Anyone who steals public money ought to be prosecuted his/her political philosophies notwithstanding. Many politicians enrich themselves by STEALING. Rigathi Gachagua should face the law. However, there are those hiding in BBI. It's time they get nabbed. #RigathisStealingWife pic.twitter.com/GU4824pGGz

Parliament should legislate a law declaring all corrupt characters unfit to hold any public office. Sadly the legislators are the ones leading in looting public resources. The likes of Rigathi Gachagua should be locked in Kamiti Prisons #RigathisStealingWife pic.twitter.com/YrUVArbzNM

Only an idiot steals with his family members. What befell waititu will soon be knocking at Rigathi's door. All companies used to fraud money from state agencies and county governments have Dorcas Rigathi as a director.

Two weeks ago, The High Court froze more than 200M shillings in the MP’s accounts. This freezing had been done pending a petition by the Assets and Recovery to have the money handed over to the government.

The Agency had previously made a successful application barring MP Rigathi and five companies associated with him and his close allies from transacting with the accounts at Rafiki Microfinance Bank for seven days. The order was given to allow ARA to probe money laundering and graft claims against the legislator.
