It has come to our attention that Mr. Rigathi Gachagua has once again chosen to recklessly peddle blatant falsehoods in a desperate attempt to mislead the public for cheap political mileage.
1. FALSE CLAIM: That the President met “other people” during
his visit to Mandera - This claim is not just false it is a calculated,
malevolent lie. As a leader who personally accompanied H.E. President William
Ruto from the moment he landed in Mandera to the moment he departed, I affirm
without fear of contradiction that the President only met officially recognized
Mandera leaders and the public in open forums.
Every aspect of the President’s one-day itinerary was
transparent and in the public domain. No private, backdoor, or suspicious
meetings took place.
The suggestion by Mr. Gachagua that the President met with
unknown individuals is a shameful fabrication designed to sow division and
confusion among the people.
It is deeply unfortunate that a man who once postured as a
symbol of truth has now reduced himself to a serial purveyor of falsehoods,
unable to recall the last time he spoke the truth.
Such conduct is not only disgraceful it is dangerous,
especially when deployed to distort presidential engagements with historically
marginalized communities.
2. FALSE CLAIM: That
security vetting for Northern Kenya has been removed Mr. Gachagua’s assertion
that the government has removed vetting is yet another deliberate distortion of
facts.
What President Ruto stated clearly in Mandera is that the
discriminatory and excessive bureaucratic vetting that has for years been
selectively imposed on communities in the Northern Frontier District (NFD) must
end.
The President emphasized that all Kenyans must be subjected
to one uniform standard of vetting fair, consistent, and constitutional without
stigmatization based on region or ethnicity. To twist this clear and just
position into a false narrative of national insecurity is reckless, dishonest,
and deeply disrespectful to the people of Northern Kenya who have suffered
decades of systemic exclusion and profiling.
The American Government must not fall for the dilutions and
desperations for attention and favours using fabricated lies from Mr. Gachagua.
DCI must do its job. The Honors is upon Gachagua to substantiate his claims
with evidence or face the law. The burden of proof for all his lies with him.
