Monday, December 2, 2024 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said the state had planned to assassinate him during the Limuru burial chaos last week.
In an interview with NTV on
Sunday, Gachagua said the attack was well-planned and that even his security
detail had been withdrawn a week before.
The former DP linked the
incident to rising tensions after he attended a Murang’a music concert, which
turned chaotic after he was denied permission to speak.
Gachagua accused Limuru MP John
Kiragu of suspicious behavior, pointing out that he sat away from the VIP tent
and was on his phone for most of the event.
“Peter Mwathi was shouted at when he talked. Heavily hooded masked guys came to our tent and removed the metal tent.
"They were armed with stones, others with sticks and they charged at
me. Guys surrounded me and formed a human shield.” Gachagua stated.
”The events of Limuru are very
sad, a carefully worked out scheme to take away my life was hatched and carried
out. It started with the withdrawal of security officers around me,” he added.
Gachagua pointed out that he
would have been injured had it not been for the young people who formed a
protective shield around him.
“Two of my men laid on top of me
to protect me. One of them was hit on the head with an iron bar and is still
recovering in the hospital,” Gachagua stated.
