Speaking on Sunday evening, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua addressed the nation after an incident in which he was reportedly attacked during a church service in Nyeri County.
In his speech, Gachagua sent a strong warning to President William Ruto, claiming that Kenya would fall into serious chaos if anything happened to him.
He stated that if he were killed, the country could slide into violence and instability, saying the consequences would be dangerous for the nation.
Gachagua further said that many Kenyans support and love him. According to him, hearing bad news about his life would anger many citizens and could trigger protests across the country.
He claimed that such unrest could worsen the political situation and put heavy pressure on the government.
He also alleged that the situation could force President William Ruto to resign due to public outrage, although he did not give clear details on how that would unfold.
He also strongly condemned the attack at the church, especially the use of tear gas on women and children. Gachagua questioned the government’s humanity and accused security officers of acting brutally against innocent worshippers.
He called on leaders to respect human life and ensure the safety of civilians, especially during peaceful religious gatherings.
