Former Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua has absolved himself from blame that he funded goons to infiltrate Gen Z protests, even as he took a swipe on Interior Cabinet Secretary, Kipchumba Murkomen over his claims that a coup was in the offing.
Gachagua said that Murkomen would not have walked on the streets of Nairobi, in the first place, if he knew too well of an attempted coup and accused the National Intelligence Service (NIS) of sleeping on their job, which ended up in huge destruction chaos and deaths.
The former DP claimed that Murkomen is a young excited Cabinet Secretary full of himself because of money and power and cannot give instructions of 'shoot to kill' to the police. "I do not know how fragile this government is, that the Interior Cabinet Secretary is walking in the streets of Nairobi in the morning and they are saying there was an attempted coup.
If they had intelligence that the goons were paid by Rigathi or anybody else, why didn't they arrest these goons," he said, in an interview with NTV yesterday night.
