DP Gachagua reveals why he Withdrew Governor Arati’s Security: Speaking at Cardinal Otunga Mosocho High School in Kisii County on Saturday, December 16, 2023, Gachagua stated that he was responsible for the withdrawal of Governor Arati’s security.
The second in command explained that no security detail should risk their lives counteracting fellow officers during protests
He stated,”Si rais alitoa askari yako, mimi ndio nilikua nimetoa kwa sababu ya mambo kidogo tu. Askari kazi yake ni kusimamisha maandamano, sasa wewe ukichukua askari upeleke maandamano si wataumizana? Tulisema vile maandamano inaendelea na nyinyi mnapeleka askari kwa maandamano wale wa maandamano wapumzike kidogo maandamano iishe, saile maandamano imeisha tumekurudishia askari.”
The deputy president went ahead to warn the governor against involving himself in opposition’s protests, threatening that the government would withdraw his security again should he be caught taking part in the protests.
Dp Gachagua stated,”Lakini mkirudi tena kuandamana na askari wetu tutawatoa kwa sababu askari hawezi kubaliwa kuumizana na askari mwenzake. Hawa wako wangeumizwa na wale wa GSU na hatutaki waumie.”
While responding to the deputy president When he withdrew his Security detail in July, Arati highlighted that he will not do anything to please the deputy president but serve his people.
Governor Arati stated,“He has said governors must behave to get police protection. I do not need police officers. I am not going to behave anytime to please the Deputy President. I am going to do what these people have sent me to do.”
