Rigathi Gachagua has recently revealed that there were two attempts to poison him in Kisumu and Nyeri.
Addressing the press outside Karen Hospital, Gachagua insisted that he was still the DP, noting that he does not feel safe, especially after his security was withdrawn.
“I want to tell Kenyans that I don’t feel safe. When we were in Kisumu, undercover agents entered my room and bugged it. One of them tried to poison my food but we detected and we escaped the scheme. In Nyeri, another team from NIS (National Intelligence Service) also came and tried to poison my food. After the two attempts failed, that’s when the impeachment motion was hatched.”
He further disclosed that he had trusted the President well enough not to need a memorandum of understanding like his peers, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula, but the decision ended up costing him.
‘’I bear no grudge against anybody but I had not seen that in President William Ruto, the man I am seeing is not the one I thought that I knew. It’s unfortunate that while I was in the hospital, my brother and friend, William Ruto, ordered the withdrawal of my security detail. I no longer have any officers assigned to protect me. I never imagined Ruto could be that vicious, especially after I helped him become president. As of today, the Deputy President of Kenya has no security. If anything happens to me or my family, Ruto should be held accountable.”
He went on to highlight that following the withdrawal of his security, President Ruto should bear the full responsibility if anything happened to him.
”I want the people of Kenya to know today that as I go home today, I have no security, and is good that they know that if anything happens to me or my family today, President Ruto must be held to account.’’
According to Gachagua he is still the deputy president of the republic of Kenya.
