The police have denied reports that they summoned former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua but have vowed to go after him should an ongoing investigation unearth evidence linking him to June 25 protest violence.
This follows numerous accusations from pro-government politicians and state officials attempting to pin the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader to financing and mobilisation efforts that went into organising the Wednesday uprising. "It is not true that we have summoned Rigathi Gachagua.
But, I would like to point out that he does not enjoy any immunity against prosecution.
He is subject to the laws of the land," said Mohammed Amin, Director of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). "If, in our investigations, he is found to have been involved in, perpetrated, aided or abetted any criminal activity, then appropriate action will be taken against him," he added.
