Gachagua Reveals Ruto Relative Grabs NTSA Camera Fines

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua named Catherine Jerono as the Ruto relative who collects NTSA fines from highway cameras. He dropped the claim during a charged public address and pointed to family connections funnelling money from traffic penalties paid by ordinary drivers on Kenyan roads. The statement ignites fresh political heat.

Rigathi Gachagua spoke with fire in his voice. He accused powerful insiders of syphoning cash from automated speed traps. Drivers across major highways receive demands in the mail. Many pay up quickly to avoid extra trouble. Yet Gachagua insists the real winner sits close to the top.

Who receives the NTSA fines from speed cameras?

Catherine Jerono, listed as a Kalenjin woman and family relative of President William Ruto, receives those payments according to Gachagua.

He made the explosive statement in front of supporters. Cameras rolled as he laid out names and details. Gachagua said the arrangement funnels money straight to her accounts. He described it as systematic.

The former deputy president did not hold back. “Catherine Jerono is a relative of William Ruto,” Gachagua told the crowd. He repeated the point for emphasis and linked her directly to the revenue stream. His words landed like stones in still water.

How do these NTS Do camera payments actually reach one person?

Gachagua claims the system routes collected fines through arrangements that ultimately benefit Catherine Jerono.

He spoke at length about the mechanics. Cameras snap plates. Systems generate bills. Drivers transfer money through banks or mobile platforms. Somewhere in that flow, he alleges, a portion lands in connected pockets.

Gachagua named dates and patterns from recent months. He pointed to increased enforcement since early 2025 and suggested the timing raised eyebrows.

Gachagua once stood beside Ruto in government. Their public split turned bitter. Now he fires accusations that strike at family and finances. The claims mix personal ties with public contracts. NTSA operates the nationwide camera network.

Gachagua grabbed the microphone tighter. He gestured with both hands. “They set up these cameras everywhere,” he said. His voice rose. He urged listeners to check their own fine notices and follow the money trail.

The revelation comes at a tense moment. Political temperatures run high ahead of future contests. Ruto’s allies dismiss such talk as sour grapes. They call it a distraction from real issues. Yet Gachagua keeps pressing.
