Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has made another explosive claim alleging that there are individuals determined to harm him through poisoning.
Speaking during a public engagement Gachagua claimed that his political rivals want his wife, Dorcas Rigathi, to stay away from him so they can allegedly carry out their plan.
According to Gachagua the alleged plot is similar to what he believes happened during his time in office.
He claimed that there were previous attempts to eliminate him while he was still serving in government, although he did not provide evidence to support the allegations or identify specific incidents.
His remarks have quickly sparked intense political debate, with supporters expressing concern over his safety while critics questioned the seriousness of the claims and called for evidence.
The statement is also expected to heighten political tensions as the country continues to witness sharp exchanges between rival camps ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The former deputy president specifically mentioned National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, alleging that those associated with him wanted to isolate Dorcas from him to make it easier to execute the alleged poisoning plot.
The claims have not been independently verified, and there has been no immediate public response from Ichung’wah regarding the allegations.
Political observers say the latest remarks are likely to fuel fresh controversy and deepen the already widening divisions within Kenya’s political landscape.
Whether the allegations will trigger official investigations or further political confrontations remains to be seen but the comments have once again placed Gachagua at the center of the country’s political conversation.
