Sunday, December 29, 2024 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has issued a statement to President William Ruto’s administration after goons disrupted his event in Nyandarua County on Saturday
Gachagua was attending a thanksgiving prayer service in Shamata when armed goons disrupted the event by throwing a tear gas canister at the dais, where he was seated alongside other leaders and members of the clergy.
"Without any provocation whatsoever, a
uniformed inspector of police gave a teargas canister to an officer in plain
clothes to throw into a VIP tent, causing panic and commotion. This was despite
the fact that prayers were peaceful and everyone was calm," Gachagua said
in a statement.
The former deputy president thanked the people of Shamata for taking charge of the meeting, escorting the attackers out, and ensuring the safety of the women and children present at the event.
"I want to acknowledge the resilience and
courage of everyone who attended this event for ensuring that despite this
attack by the police, the prayers continued to their focal conclusion,"
Gachagua added.
He further blasted the National Police
Service, which he says is already disgraced for carrying out illegal
abductions.
Gachagua also aimed a dig at President William
Ruto, telling him that intimidation won't stop Kenyan people from criticising
the government.
"To President Ruto, no amount of
intimidation or violence will stop Kenyan people from criticizing you,
demanding good governance and accountability, or asking you to respect
democracy and the rule of law,” he said.
