Saturday, August 9, 2025 - Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has ordered former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to record a statement immediately upon landing in Kenya over controversial terrorism claims he made while in the United States.
Speaking on Saturday during the Keiyo South Economic
Empowerment Program, Murkomen said Gachagua must explain his allegations,
including claims that Government officials held meetings with Al-Shabaab
operatives.
“As soon as he lands in Kenya, he must record a statement to
tell us exactly which meetings he is having with terrorists,” Murkomen said,
accusing the former DP of using security matters to score political points
abroad.
The directive comes after Gachagua alleged that President
William Ruto met Al-Shabaab militia leaders during a visit to Mandera County.
Murkomen dismissed the remarks as reckless and damaging to
Kenya’s reputation.
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki backed the call, urging
authorities to ensure Gachagua records a statement, saying anyone with
information on terrorists must aid investigations.
Mandera Senator Ali Roba has also urged the DCI to arrest
Gachagua, terming his comments a desperate attempt at political mileage.
Gachagua has been in the U.S since July 9th on a
two-month tour meeting Kenyans in the diaspora and international partners.
