Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has finally broken his silence on the controversial wave of alleged abductions in the country.
Speaking during a press conference at his Mathira home in Nyeri County, he suggested that the alleged abductions of prominent social media personalities were the government’s way of silencing its fierce critics.
The former DP moreover faulted the National Intelligence Service for allegedly turning a blind eye to missing Kenyans as he referenced Douglas Kanja’s latest statement where the Inspector General of Police distanced security agencies’ involvement in abductions.
“Inspector General of the national police service insists he is not aware of the abductions, which begs the question,’ how can the police still be in denial when there are witnesses, video evidence and countless grieving families coming forward?”
He further claimed that he took issue with the competency of the NIS when he was still in office but his concerns were allegedly taken to be acts of an insubordinate public servant.
He concluded by calling on the President to take responsibility and address the alleged abductions.
His comment comes as the whereabouts of Kibet Bull, Bernard Kavuli, Peter Muteti and Billy Mwangi remain unknown after their alleged abductions.
