Democracy for Citizens party leader Rigathi Gachagua has sparked fresh concerns about how the state is handling dissenting voices, revealing that the government had planned to assassinate him upon his return from the United States.
Speaking during an interview on Citizen TV on Tuesday night, the former Deputy President alleged that the government had organised and attempted to assassinate him in Pipeline, Nairobi, minutes after landing at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
According to Gachagua, the government had organised and deployed a police unit disguised as goons to engineer the plot, then shift the blame to the goons who had reportedly stormed his convoy around Cabanas on his return.
He detailed that the plan involved police strategically placed among the goons, so that in the event of the attack, the assassination would be blamed on goon violence.
