Addressing the press outside Karen Hospital on Sunday, Gachagua, who insisted that he was still the DP, noted that he does not feel safe, especially after his security was withdrawn.
“I want to tell Kenyans that I donโt feel safe. When we were in Kisumu, undercover agents entered my room and bugged it. One of them tried to poison my food but we detected and we escaped the scheme,” he stated.
“In Nyeri, another team from NIS (National Intelligence Service) also came and tried to poison my food. After the two attempts failed, that’s when the impeachment motion was hatched.”
Gachagua further called out his boss, William Ruto, terming him as a vicious person for withdrawing his security while he was hospitalised.
He noted that he had trusted the President well enough not to need a memorandum of understanding like his peers, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula, but the decision ended up costing him.
โโI bear no grudge against anybody but I had not seen that in President William Ruto, the man I am seeing is not the one I thought that I knew,โโ Gachagua stated.
“It’s unfortunate that while I was in the hospital, my brother and friend, William Ruto, ordered the withdrawal of my security detail. I no longer have any officers assigned to protect me.
I never imagined Ruto could be that vicious, especially after I helped him become president. As of today, the Deputy President of Kenya has no security. If anything happens to me or my family, Ruto should be held accountable.”
Gachagua, therefore, cast doubt on his safety urging that following the withdrawal of his security, President Ruto should bear the full responsibility if anything happened to him.
”I want the people of Kenya to know today that as I go home today, I have no security, and is good that they know that if anything happens to me or my family today, President Ruto must be held to account,” he added.
Gachagua’s address came after he was discharged from the hospital where according to him he was admitted after developing some chest pains.
”On my way to the office to pick up my notes, I suddenly developed a very intense pain in the chest. I sat down, the pain continued, and it was very sharp. I called my doctor and described how I was feeling. As we were speaking, I started having shortness of breathโฆCLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
