The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party chairperson Gladys Wanga has flagged as fake a Viral letter bearing her signature sent to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Wanga accompanied the fake letter with a message to Kenyans stating, “This is fake. Beware of disinformation.”
In the fake letter dated January 23, the party chair reportedly requested the intervention of DCI following Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi’s remarks in a video clip on January 20
The letter read, “In this video, Hon. Sudi insinuates that the Former Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua, allegedly discussed, during a meeting at Serena Hotel, a plan to “eliminate” Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga as a means of ending the Maandamano protests,”
“The gravity of these claims cannot be overstated. The suggestion that the Deputy President may have been involved in the orchestration of an assassination plot against a leading opposition figure is an extremely serious matter, not only threatening the safety of Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga but also undermining the very fabric of our democracy,” read part of the letter.
The letter therefore urged the DCI to immediately launch an investigation by summoning Sudi to the headquarters to substantiate their legitimacy and acquire any evidence on the same.
Sudi’s video elicited several reactions on social media where he condemned Gachagua while exposing his ‘dangerous’ plan to end the opposition maandamanos in 2023.
He called Gachagua a liar who had switched upon impeachment to gain sympathy and support from Kenyans.
Sudi insisted that it took the intervention of the President to stop Gachagua from carrying out several plans to silence the likes of Raila Odinga, Uhuru Kenyatta and Former Interior CS Fred Matiang’i
“You know what you wanted to do during the opposition protest. If we were not clever and stopped you we would not have a country right now. You know what you were pushing for in Serena. Please stay at home. That’s where you are supposed to be because you are a very dangerous man,” Sudi claimed.
“My brothers from the Mountain, I want to tell you that this man is a big liar. If we had allowed him, he would have done much worse. He wanted to hurt the Uhuru family, the Matiang’i family, and all the PSs who were giving us trouble,”
“Who planned the theft of Uhuru’s sheep? Who sent goons to Uhuru’s son’s gate? You planned all those incidents yet today you are speaking as if you are a clean man. You are a big liar. You know what you did in the short time you were in office,” Sudi Alleged.
