Kenya’s former Deputy President styles himself as a “son of the Mau Mau”. Before his impeachment, he was increasingly vocal about the injustices faced by Mau Mau veterans and their descendants.

Gachagua expressed regret over working with Ruto, stating that their fallout stemmed from his questioning of unpopular policies that had angered the President.

"I had a meeting with the president to tell him to accept that it was the State conducting abductions of Kenyans," claimed Gachagua.

Gachagua highlighted widespread dissatisfaction among citizens, including public servants facing high deductions from their salaries.

Gachagua said experts had advised that the NHIF could have been enhanced at a cost of between Sh700 million and Sh800 million, significantly less than the Sh104 billion allocated to the SHA.

Gachagua recalled similar challenges in the 1990s, when criminal gangs were reportedly used to quell political dissent during the push for multiparty democracy.

The former Deputy President revealed that he was occasionally a dissenting voice in cabinet meetings, a matter that earned him isolation and eventual isolation.

Gachagua described the attack as a deliberate plan facilitated by the state through the withdrawal of his security detail.

He described the attack as a premeditated attempt on his life and accused the Limuru Member of Parliament of being involved in organising the incident.

The chaos occurred at the funeral of the late Erastus Nduati where former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was present.

According to eyewitnesses, a rowdy group emerged from behind the tent designated for senior guests, where Gachagua was seated alongside political allies, including Kiambu Senator Karungo Wa Thang’wa.

Gachagua, who was attending the funeral of 23-year-old Erastus Nduati, described how a group of attackers armed with stones, machetes, and iron bars targeted mourners, including children.

The committee described the expenses as excessive, suggesting they equalled or exceeded the original cost of constructing the buildings.

Senator Thang'wa defended the donation clarifying that Gachagua's pledge was made in good faith long before the recent controversy surrounding political donations to churches.

Gachagua has promised a calculated and decisive political resurgence, anchored on what he termed as betrayal and dishonesty.

Gachagua compared the surveillance to tactics used during the era of the dreaded 'Special Branch,' warning that such actions undermine individual freedoms. 

Judge Hellen Wasilwa issued the directive on Monday, noting that it aims to facilitate further proceedings in the legal dispute surrounding their employment status.

Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang'wa urged the government to further reinstate Gachagua's full team.

The lawyers questioned the judges' ability to provide a fair and impartial ruling.

He further expressed concerns that the directive, issued without consultation with the PSC, may lead to the constructive dismissal of the workers.

According to DCI, his statement is expected to play a key role in the investigations as authorities seek to uncover the truth behind the assassination claims.

This revelation comes as he addressed the public for the first time since his hospitalisation at Karen Hospital on Thursday last week.

He emphasised the gravity of the situation, indicating that President Ruto should be held responsible if anything were to happen to him or his family.

The presidency is currently facing a major standoff with impeached DP Gachagua, who has kicked off an aggressive battle against his removal in courts and managed to stall the appointment and subsequent swearing-in of his replacement Kindiki.

Earlier this month, the government asked the International Monetary Fund to conduct an official assessment of corruption and governance issues.

Through his lawyer Paul Muite, Gachagua argues that the charges against him in the National Assembly and Senate were baseless.

Given the voting patterns observed in the National Assembly, a similar trend is likely to manifest in the Senate.

She emphasised that the ongoing impeachment hearing is a structured application of Kenya's Constitution and not an arbitrary action.

Kingi emphasised that all parties had been instructed to indicate "any other evidence" when submitting their responses.

Njiru had argued that it would be unfair to Gachagua if the Senate allowed Orengo to represent the National Assembly.
