Gachaguas security details reinstated

“The state has reinstated part of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s security detail. In the same spirit, I urge the government to take the next honourable step and reinstate his employees as well. Justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done,” Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang’wa said

The government reinstated part of impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s security detail. Gachagua expressed concerns for his safety after his security was withdrawn following the impeachment.

On Sunday, he attended a church function in Kiambu County with enhanced security. Former United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary-General Cleophas Malala, who also attended the event, confirmed that some of Mr. Gachagua’s security detail had been restored. “Yes, it’s true,” Malala confirmed.

At the church function in Kiambu, Mr. Gachagua was accompanied by his wife Dorcas and joined by several leaders, including host Senator Karungo Wa Thang’wa (Kiambu), former UDA Secretary-General Cleophas Malala, Senators John Methu (Nyandarua), Joe Nyutu (Murang’a), and MPs Gathoni Wamuchomba (Githunguri), Njeri Maina (Kirinyaga Woman Rep), Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri), George Koimburi (Juja), Jayne Kihara (Naivasha), John Kagucia (Mukurwe-ini), and Onesmus Ngogoyo (Kajiado North).

Others present included Benjamin Gathiru Mejja Donk (Embakasi Central), Teresiah Wanjiru (nominated), MCAs from Kiambu, Murang’a, and Kirinyaga, as well as former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, among others.

Mr. Gachagua’s public appearance on Sunday was a stark contrast to the previous week when he addressed journalists at Karen Hospital without any security.
