Embu county Governor Cecily Mbarire has recently accused former DP Rigathi Gachagua of attempting to intimidate and coerce her to change her current political position.
While addressing the press on Thursday evening, Mbarire criticised Gachagua for allegedly working alongside a section of Embu politicians to bring down her administration.
The county boss also accused the Gachagua of reportedly attempting to manipulate Embu’s political landscape by orchestrating a series of violence through the use of organised criminal gangs.

“Rigathi Gachagua, you are not God! I am not afraid of you, and I know you were behind what happened in Embu yesterday. Gachagua, I will tell you, I do not care how strong you may be, but you will not intimidate me anymore, I will not remain silent anymore. If you are God, then I dare you to take my life,” Mbarire commented.
She went on to note that she received information from credible sources linking Gachagua to the violent demonstrations witnessed in Embu on June 25.
Mbarire further accused Manyatta MP John Gitonga of collaborating with the former DP to destroy Embu County.
According to the county boss, Gachagua was only using Gitonga for his selfish political gain.
Her sentiments come barely a day after a section of pro-government lawmakers linked Gachagua to the violent protests witnessed in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) on Wednesday, June 25.
