Tuesday, October 29, 2024 – President William Ruto could be having a second
thought in his fight with ousted Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
This is after he reinstated some
of Gachagua’s security detail a week after complaining that his life was in
danger.
Gachagua, who is embroiled in an
intense legal battle to save his seat as Deputy President, attended a church
service in Kiambu County with enhanced security detail.
The latest development was also
confirmed by Gachagua’s close ally – Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang’wa.
“The state has reinstated
part of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s security detail,” Thang’wa
said.
“In the same spirit, I urge
the government to take the next honourable step and reinstate his employees as
well. Justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done,” he
added.
Senator Thang’wa was one of the
few leaders still allied to Gachagua who accompanied him to the church function
in Kiambu on Sunday.
Cleophas Malala, Senators John
Methu (Nyandarua), and Joe Nyutu (Murang’a) were also present at the Saint James
ACK Cathedral.
A new team has also been posted
at the ousted Deputy President’s home in Karen to oversee his security.
The latest developments came
barely a week after Gachagua emerged with some explosive comments, days after
he was taken ill in hospital whilst in the middle of a Senate trial.
On Sunday, October 20, Gachagua
went on a passionate tirade outside the Karen Hospital where he lamented about
having his security detail withdrawn.
He also revealed that security
agents tried to assassinate him twice in Kisumu and Nyeri.
