Gachagua, who insisted that he was still the DP, told Kenyans that he didn’t feel safe.
Impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has renewed his attack on the National Intelligence Service (NIS), alleging deliberate attempts by some agents in Nyeri County to poison him.
Addressing the press outside Karen Hospital on Sunday, October 20, Gachagua, who insisted that he was still the DP, told Kenyans that he didn’t feel safe. This is after he revealed that his security was withdrawn while he was admitted in hospital.
“I want to tell Kenyans that I don’t feel safe. On 30th August in Kisumu, undercover agents entered my room and bugged it. One of them tried to poison my food but we detected and we were able to escape the scheme,” he stated. “I was supposed to be killed through poisoning.”
“In Nyeri, another team from NIS (National Intelligence Service) also came and tried to poison food that was meant for me and the Kikuyu Council of Elders. I did report this matter to the NIS and the officers who were assigned to my office I asked them to leave because I felt I was not safe. After the two attempts to assassinate me through food poisoning failed, that’s when this impeachment motion was hatched.”
