DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua has slammed Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen over new measures to curb the sale of illicit alcohol in the country.
In a statement issued on July 31, Gachagua accused CS Murkomen of enjoying the people of Kenya and treating them with contempt.
According to Gachagua, while he was in office, he set up practical measures to curb illicit alcohol and tackle drug abuse, successfully eliminating poisonous brews and restoring sobriety among those who had been affected.

“CS Interior, you are wasting your time and enjoying the people of Kenya, and treating them as fools. While in office, I put practical measures to curb illicit alcohol and check drug abuse. In a record one year of consistent hard work and practical interventions, we successfully eliminated illicit and poisonous alcohol and brought sobriety among our brothers and sisters who had been affected,” he noted.
The former DP went on to accuse William Ruto and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki of sabotaging the program.
He also alleged that President Ruto sabotaged a successful program initiated by Pastor Dorcas Rigathi by withdrawing a budget from the office that was supporting the rehabilitation of youths across the country.
Gachagua further claimed that the President is not interested in having a sober and productive nation.
He furthermore urged Murkomen to focus on enforcing existing laws on alcohol instead of proposing new ones.
