BREAKING: “Stop Intimidation of Opposition,” Kalonzo Demands as Police Reportedly Hunt for Former DP Gachagua
Musyoka further stated that opposition leaders are “prepared to produce DP Gachagua before the DCI,” while condemning what he described as abductions.
Political tensions escalated in Kenya today as former Vice President and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka condemned what he termed “intimidation of the Opposition,” amid reports that security forces are pursuing former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Musyoka in his post on X has directly addressed President William Ruto, “this intimidation of the Opposition must stop. Mr Ruto, if you want to arrest Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, do it the right way; follow the law.”
Musyoka further stated that opposition leaders are “prepared to produce DP Gachagua before the police,” while condemning what he described as abductions.
“Please stop abducting Kenyans and their leaders. Abductions are primitive and cowardly,” he wrote.
DPC party leader also confirmed the incident claiming the police occupied his homes.
The development comes as lawyer Moses Tula Chelanga questioned the tactics reportedly being employed by authorities.
“Riggy G has known address, offices and business establishments. Grounded and politically exposed people like him are rarely a flight risk,” Chelanga noted on X.
“Why deploy lots of resources to hunt him…just summon him to DCI. These Uhuru regime tactics shouldn’t spill over…”
His lawyer claim security agencies have surrounded Gachagua’s residences in Karen and Wamunyoro in Nyeri.
The former deputy president, who was impeached in October 2024, has recently increased his political activities, including launching the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) on May 15, positioning himself as a vocal government critic.
Gachagua’s lawyer Ndegwa Njiru has reportedly expressed concern about his client’s safety.
The whereabouts of Gachagua is unknown as of the time of publication.
The DCI and National Police Service had not issued official statements regarding any operation targeting the former deputy president as of press time.
This story is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available.
