This photo shared on Facebook supposedly showing Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua peeping as President William Ruto welcomes King Charles III is ALTERED.
Posted on 31 October 2023, the image purportedly shows DP Gachagua looking through a window as Ruto introduces the king and queen of England to the Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
“And who is peeping from the window. It’s the investor I told you about. Forget about him, meet my deputy,” the post reads.
The photo was shared as the king and queen began their four-day state visit to Kenya on 31 October 2023.
