Speaking at The Karen Hospital on Sunday, October 20, Gachagua claimed he survived two assassination attempts before his impeachment.
The first incident allegedly happened in Kisumu county on August 30, where undercover security agents allegedly poisoned his food.
“30th August in Kisumu, security officers tried to poison my food. 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,” Gachagua stated.
The second incident happened in Nyeri county, where officers from the National Intelligence Service tried to poison his food.
According to Gachagua, the impeachment motion was Ruto’s last card after the failed assassination attempts.
“”On September 3, another team from the National Intelligence Service came to Nyeri 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 asked the officers assigned to my office to leave because I felt I was not safe. After the two assassination attempts failed, it is when this impeachment motion was hatched,โ Gachagua said.
Meanwhile, the former deputy president slammed President William Ruto for ordering the withdrawal of his security.
Speaking on Sunday, October 20, after being discharged from the hospital, Gachagua criticised the president for denying him security despite helping him to win elections in 2022.
Gachagua disclosed all his security details, including those guarding his home, had been withdrawn.
Gachagua, who insisted he was still the second-in-command, said if anything happens to him or to any member of his family, then the president should be held accountableโฆCLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
