Gachagua issues demands to IG Kanja over mass deployment of police to Ol Kalou
First, Rigathi Gachagua now wants to run the IEBC all by himself for Ol Kalau by-election. Gachagua is taking the job of IEBC chairman Erastus Edung Ethikon and also will work as the representative for all the other commissioners and take over the technical administration of the election altogether.
All these IEBC work and the chairmanship has to be handed over to Gachagua immediately before the Ol Kalou by- election.
It sounds crazy but that is Rigathi Gachagua for Kenyans now exposing himself as a pretty sick politician who wants to control everything from your door to where you shop and how you behave if you are living in Ol Kalou right now.
In fact, Gachgua has ordered that all new shops and hotels opened for business recently in Ol Kalou must all be shut down after the election because those who own them are collaborators with Ruto and their businesses have to be kicked out and nobody knows where Gachagua will take all those Kenyans born and living in Ol Kalau whom he now calls collaborators.
After taking over the IEBC Gachagua wants takeover and be the Inspector General of National Police and taking the job of the IG from Douglas Kanja to run the Ol Kalou by-elections.
Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua with a strongly worded letter to Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, raising concerns over the deployment of more than 2,000 police officers to Ol Kalou ahead of Thursday’s parliamentary by-election and demanding that all officers deployed operate in uniform.
The former deputy president argued that while police have a constitutional duty to maintain law and order, the deployment in Ol Kalou was unprecedented and risked undermining public confidence in the election.
Gachagua’s letter comes barely a day after Inspector General Douglas Kanja assured residents that elaborate security measures had been put in place to guarantee peaceful elections in Ol Kalou.
The National Police Service announced the deployment of additional security personnel to safeguard voters, election officials, candidates and election materials before, during and after polling.
So Gachagua now wants to be the IG police boss and Kenyans should remember what he did as DP who was in charge of security during the 2023 Saba Saba protests led by Raila Odinga when Gachagua tried to get Raila assassinated and he survived massive gun shots in his car and that is how efficient the DP was on the security docket.
Saba Saba: Raila’s car damaged in battle with anti-riot police
Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Party leader Raila Odinga’s vehicle was on Friday damaged during running battles between protesters and anti-riot police.
After addressing the Kamukunji rally, Odinga called on his supporters to march to Central Park in the Nairobi CBD where he was set to make a further address.
The Odinga-led Azimio convoy would however be met with force by a heavily armed contingent of anti-riot police officers determined to ensure the thousands of protesters following the opposition leader do not make their way into the city centre.
At the time in the middle of one the worst attacks and killing of many during the July 7, 2023 Saba Saba protests Rigathi Gachagua was very happy to organize those crimes because he was the DP and the boss of the security operations.
As the new police boss Gachagua wants to go to Ol Kalou and inspect all the badges on 2,000 police officers there. He wants to inspect their guns and make sure they are government weapons. Gachagua will then tell when and where to stand as ordered by him.
Kenyans are looking at this Gachagua dude and they are in a shock that this is the leader and saviour of the opposition in Kenya under his self-imposed United Opposition and will handle the elections in 290 constituencies in 2027 when he is overwhelmed with a by-election in his own village which he should win while sleeping comfortably in Wamunyoro.
Looking back now, it seems Gchagagua must be wishing Moi was around to give him a job as a D.O again so he can kill people freely 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 boy.
In reality nobody has killed more Kikuyus in Kenya than Rigathi Gachagua except for the British Colonial government which took killing Kenyans and mainly Kikuyus as their main job to get a full hold of Kenya and everything in there.
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 Molo massacre of Kikuyus by then area D.O Rigathi Gachagua where more than 5,000 people were killed in cold blood with many left to die in their homes and in the streets was phenomenon in its savagery.
More than 50,000 Kikuyus were forced to flee from Molo District to escape death from Rigathi Gachagua and his mobsters and it was a terrible nightmare for the children and young people running away leaving their dead parents behind and they had to take care of themselves because the killing never stopped until Moi’s man Gachagua was happy that all Kikuyus in Molo had been killed or thrown out to teach them a lesson.
This is the same Rigathi Gachagua the biggest killer of Kikuyus when it suited his personal interests as Moi DO who gave him a promotion for a job well done and the same lunatic now wants to be the godfather and national leader of all Kikuyus in Kenya. What gives.
If Gachagua did not kill so many of those Kikuyus he would have a whole lot more to lead to his promised land whatever that could be.
Kenyans know Rigathi Gachagua very well from his record as public officer and he is nothing but a brutal murderer of Kenyans and if that is the person the Kenya opposition wants to lead them to a new government in 2027 which he will control from Wamunyoro that is their problem and there is nothing anybody can do to help them.
