Gachagua Discloses Surviving 2 Assassination Attempts, Says Ruto To Held Accountable if Anything Happens To Him
Gachagua Discloses Surviving 2 attempts to poison him in Kisumu and Nyeri.
The ousted DP was addressing the press after he was discharged from Karen Hospital on Sunday. Gachagua noted that he does not feel safe, especially after his security was withdrawn.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,” he stated.
“In Nyeri, another team from Nation Intelligence service also came and tried to poison my food. After the two attempts failed, that’s when the impeachment motion was hatched,” he added.
Gachagua pointed fingers at William Ruto, terming him as a vicious person for withdrawing his security while he was hospitalised.
He noted that he had trusted the President well enough not to need a memorandum of understanding like his counterparts, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula.
‘’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,’’ Gachagua stated.
“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.”
”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,” he added.
