Gachagua Responds to Matiang'i's Alleged Raid at Karen Home

-

  • Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua asked former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i to carry out an internal soul-searching following claims that police officers raided his Karen home.

    Speaking during a thanksgiving service on Sunday, February 12, Gachagua dismissed the claims adding that Matiang’i was being haunted by actions he took when he was the Interior Ministry boss.

    “Do not mind those pretending that they have been arrested. These people are having hallucinations and nightmares; they cannot sleep because they used police officers to frustrate people.

    “Now, when they see an officer, they have nightmares. The prayer of the widows, orphans and families of those who were found dead in River Yala and those who were taken to Arberdares is what is haunting them,” he remarked.

    Matiang’i had alleged that members of an elite squad, under the directions of the current regime, surrounded his Karen home on the night of Wednesday, February 8, with the aim of arresting him.

    Gachagua told of the media for pushing news without doing their due diligence, He maintained that  National Police Service (NPS) was independent and not a puppet to the government as it was in the previous regime.

    “The police service we have is professional and has no time for politics or to go and raid a house at night. We have no time to deploy our police for nonsense,” he stated.

    The DP dismissed calls by former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko to have President William Ruto recall predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta as his peace envoy for the Great Lakes Region and the Horn of Africa.

    He maintained that the Ruto administration was not hell-bent on taking revenge on the ill-treatment brought upon them during Uhuru’s regime.
