Is Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates staying in Kenya? Former Chief Justice (CJ) Willy Mutunga has hinted that Gates is currently residing in Tigoni, Kiambu County, Kenya.
In a statement on Saturday, April 12, Mutunga criticized Bill Gates for attempting to vaccinate livestock and force Genetically Modified Organism (GMOs) on Kenyans.
Mutunga explained that the Constitution does give Gates such powers.
“I hear this man lives in Tigoni these days. Besides the cows, he’s also behind the subversion of Article 11(3)(b) by imposing GMOs on the country,” Mutunga said.
“Where, under our constitution and law, does he get that power? National shame,” he added.
Tigoni is a small, leafy suburb home to an affluent community of both locals and expatriates. The green leafy highlands, coupled with a cool climate, provide fertile land for tea growers.
For adventure lovers, there are surprisingly a lot of unique places to visit with activities ranging from horse riding, wine and cheese tasting sessions, boat riding & cycling trips.
Some of the places one can visit in Tigoni include Tigoni Gardens, Limuru Country Club, Red Hill Art Gallery, and Sovereign Suites.
Sovereign Suites is a hotel under the Africa Sun collection and home of the former head of the Directorate of Security Intelligence (‘Special Branch’), James Kanyotu.
Others beautiful sceneries are Brown’s Cheese Factory, the Dam Redhill resort, Kiambethu Tea Farm, Tûrî A Mûmbi, Buxton Tunnel.

Ruto Dismisses Cows Vaccination Reports
However, President William Ruto dismissed reports that Bill Gates was planning to vaccinate cows to control methane emissions.
Speaking on February 6, 2025, during the launch of the vaccination drive, Ruto said Bill Gates is not involved in the exercise and the vaccines are processed in Kenya.
Ruto defended the vaccination exercise, stating that farmers have been vaccinating their cows for years without any form of opposition.
He criticized Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka for opposing the vaccination, accusing him of not having a cow.
Ruto refuted the claims as nonsense stating that, “These cows are ours; the doctors are ours, and we have sourced this medicine from Kabete. So, where does Bill Gates come in?”
