Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s recent revelation about an alleged state plan to assassinate him has left the country in shock. Just hours after Gachagua made the claim, Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi has reacted with a cryptic message that has left many Kenyans talking.
A State Plan to Assassinate the DP?
In a press conference at Karen Hospital on Sunday, Gachagua stated that the state had attempted to poison him not once, but twice. According to the DP, the first attempt was in Kisumu at the end of August, while the second attempt was in Nyeri just a few days later. Gachagua claimed that the state had decided to pursue his impeachment after the two attempts failed.
Gachagua alleged that the first attempt was made by undercover security agents in Kisumu, who bugged his room and tried to poison his food. However, the DP’s team was able to detect the poison, and they managed to escape the scheme. The second attempt was allegedly made by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) in Nyeri, where they tried to poison food meant for Gachagua and the Kikuyu council of elders.
Oscar Sudi’s Response
Reacting to Gachagua’s claims, Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi sent a message that seemed to offer his support to the DP. Sudi, who is a close ally of President William Ruto, stated, “Ufalme wa dunia ukikukataa tafuta Ufalme wa mbinguni kwa sababu ni free” which translates to “If the kingdom of this world rejects you, seek the kingdom of heaven because it’s free.”
While Sudi’s message may seem cryptic, it is clear that he is offering Gachagua spiritual support in the face of adversity. Sudi’s response suggests that he believes Gachagua should seek solace in his faith, rather than relying on worldly powers.
A Threat to the DP’s Security?
Gachagua’s claims of assassination attempts have raised questions about his security and the safety of other top government officials. If the claims are true, it would suggest that the DP’s life is in danger, and that the state is willing to go to great lengths to remove him from office.
Conclusion
The drama surrounding the alleged assassination attempts on DP Gachagua is still unfolding, and it’s unclear what the outcome will be. However, one thing is clear: the DP’s claims have exposed a deep-seated rift within the government, and have raised serious questions about his security and the safety of other top officials. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the people of Kenya will be watching closely to see what happens next.
