Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has sensationally claimed that his life is in danger.
In a letter to the Inspector of General Police and copied to President William Ruto, Gachagua listed multiple incidents that he claimed were a threat to his life.
He gave a timeline dating back to November 28, 2024, when he was attacked during a funeral service in Limuru, Kiambu County.
The former DP claimed that this was an assassination attempt that had failed, even as he detailed the damage caused during the solemn event.
Gachagua further claimed that there have been attempts to attack his homes in Nairobi, Nyeri and other homes by individuals well known to the IG, “or where you are a culpable accomplice”.
“NIS operatives trail and stalk me and me immediate family members in unmarked cars or clandestine number plates. This is an affront to right to privacy,” read the statement in part.
Backing his claims, Gachagua listed a chronological order of events where he was allegedly attacked by organized gangs and police officers.
He questioned why, despite raising an alarm on the aforementioned incidents, no action has been taken and authorities have turned a blind eye.
The embattled ex-DP therefore demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of the said perpetrators and the immediate deployment of security in all gatherings that he will attend.
He further told IG Kanja that he needs private security and warned him against interrupting peaceful gatherings.
Gachagua also demanded the expeditious protection of his homes and told IG Kanja to stop NIS officers from trailing him and his family members.
