Kenya kumeharibika! Gachagua explains why he has resumed shooting practice in US
When Rigathi Gachagua left for the US the idea was that he was there to mobilize Kenyans in America to support him with money and hopefully votes and that is great for him.
Now Gachagua tells Kenyans that he is also doing shooting and combat practice in the USA and as he puts it that is for him to get ready for warfare in Kenya.
In the news, Rigathi Gachagua has explained why he recently resumed shooting practice while in the United States, saying he wanted to refresh skills he acquired during military training and teach his wife basic firearm handling.
He said his stay in the US had given him an opportunity to practise shooting and refresh some of the skills he had learnt more than three decades ago.
“The last time was when I went for training in 1990 on weaponry and basic combat skills. So I’m taking time here to do some bit of weaponry, some bit of basic combat skills,” Gachagua said.
Gachagua said he had also taken his wife to the shooting range to teach her basic firearm handling and shooting skills, arguing that the worsening security situation meant people could find themselves at risk.
He told Kenyans living in Spokane that they should also learn basic skills in handling firearms and remain alert, saying increasing cases of goonisms meant anyone could become a victim.
“I am also trying to teach my wife some basics. You know, these goons can cause harm to anybody, can’t they? So I told her that is why I have taken her to the range a little bit, to learn how to shoot this way and this way, so that she can also know what to do even when she is alone. Because Kenya has deteriorated. Even you, when you come home, you should be alert,” Gachagua said.
He used the Spokane engagement to discuss broader concerns about the country’s security, governance and economy, telling Kenyans in the diaspora that many were disappointed by what he described as rising lawlessness, unconstitutional practices, conflicts of interest and economic sabotage.
“Because Kenya kumeharibika,” he said, explaining why he wanted his wife to have basic knowledge of handling a firearm.
Gachagua also told the diaspora that Kenyans abroad would have a role in rebuilding the country under a new government, saying their expertise, technology and knowledge would be needed to support development.
In a statement accompanying his engagement, Gachagua said Kenyans in the diaspora continued to make a significant contribution through remittances but were concerned about how resources were being utilised.
He said a future government would seek to tap the expertise of Kenyans living abroad to help transform the country and create opportunities for skilled Kenyans at home and abroad.
The scariest part of Gachagua’s story is that he is telling Kenyans that the last time he practiced targeted shooting and combat operations was in 1990 when he was President Moi’s D.O in Molo District.
After that 1990 shooting practice by then D.O Rigathi Gachagua he went on to actually shoot and kill thousands of Kenyans with all his police officers helping him and it was one of the greatest achievements he made for his boss President Moi who was a political thug at that time killing Kenyans everywhere.
Moi decided to let D.O Gachagua deal with the Kikuyus in Molo District and just wipe them out and Gachagua did exactly that perfectly for Moi and was promoted by his boss.
The question is who is Gachagua planning to kill in Kenya this time around?
Now Gchagagua must be wishing Moi was around to give him a job as a DO again so he can kill people for him like he did in Molo in 1992 where he slaughtered more than 5,000 people mainly Kikuyus who did not vote for Moi in the first multiparty elections and was duly promoted after that achievement for the big boss. Gachagua also forced more than 75,000 Kikuyus to flee from their homes in Molo for their lives at that time of mass murder.
In the promotion letter, Moi actually thanked him for wiping out Kikuyus in Molo and that is the guy who now pretends to be the godfather of the Kikuyu communities. Shame on him.
The real issue for Kenyans is to find out who Gachagua intends to kill this time looking at what he did in 1992. Today Gachagua talks about defending Kikuyus in Mt. Kenya nobody knows who is defending them against.
The truth is that nobody in Kenya has killed more Kikuyus than Rigathi Gachagua did in 1992 and was specifically given promotion for that job. Only the British colonialists killed more Kikuyus during Mau Mau fight for Kenya independence than Rigathi Gachagua and he has no shame now promising to kill Kenyans to defend Kikuyus.
It is sad for the country that some hopeless politicians fighting for power want to resort to violence and kill Kenyans in the name of defending this tribe or the other when the same people have slaughtered thousands of fellow Kenyans and it was a gift to them.
How long can Kenya put up with the sick politics of the likes of Rigathi Gachagua and his fellow leaders in the United Opposition who love him for threatening violence in Kenya.
When are Gachagua’s political team leaders who are going to his Generals in the shooting spree of Kenyans joining him in the shooting practice? They can do that in Wamunyoro.
These failing opposition leaders are just going to shoot themselves in the foot and Kenyans will be fine with that and move on with their lives.
Gachagua goes to the USA and his message to America and the whole world is that as a national leader he is preparing through shooting practice in the US to be a big part of gun wars in the country as Kenyans will be shooting each other for power. What a wonderful message this man provides about his own country to everybody out there. Keep going big boy and you will get there Rigathi. Don’t panic.
Muturi calls for ICC outreach office in Nairobi amid ethnic rhetoric concerns
Democratic Party (DP) leader Justin Muturi has called for the establishment of an International Criminal Court (ICC) outreach office in Nairobi, citing concerns over what he described as rising ethnic rhetoric ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Can Justin Muturi do the job by asking ICC to start with arresting their opposition King who is already actively practicing shooting skills to kill Kenyans? ICC can also get Gachagua’s records in Molo in 1992 because ICC has no time limit on mass murderers and they can take Rigathi Gachagua to the Hague because killing 5,000 people in mass public executions is an international crime by any standards.
Justin Muturi can start there and let the country move to peaceful elections in 2027. Kenyans will thank him for that and Gachagua will finally find peace among fellow criminals at the Hague and they can share their stories at the place where they belong.
