Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has blamed President William Ruto's administration for the relocation of the British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK) activities from Nyanyuki to Tanzania.
Addressing faithful at St Theresa's Catholic Church in Imenti, Meru on Sunday, Gachagua said the relocation of the facility will lead to the collapse of Nyanyuki Town's economy and loss of jobs.
"That training facility has benefitted the country, including in terms of joint military training programme, counterterrorism. It has also provided employment opportunities for 500 people in Nyanyuki," Gachagua said, adding that the region stands to lose significantly following the failed renewal of the license.
