I have been following with concern and shock Rigathi Gachagua's public pronouncements and talks in recent days.
His daily diatribe, interspersed with vitriol, misogyny, lies, ethnic jingoism and hate are carefully crafted to sow division, incite violence, extort and bully politicians to join his party and cement his imaginary status as a regional kingpin. A position that neither exists in the Constitution nor in our socio-cultural setups.
His rhetoric and activities are inconsistent with someone who once held a high constitutional office leave alone a decent human being.
Addressing delegations to his rural home, which he retreated to after his self-inflicted fall, he besmirches my name daily in the name of criticising security failures, while in the real sense, he is trying to divert my attention away from the clandestine criminal activities that he executes through his lieutenants.
After realizing that his attacks were not enough to shake my resolve, he has now changed tack and activated his sleeper cell of political accomplices from Rift Valley to aid him in his nefarious plot.
It is no coincidence that Gachagua was today amplifying the false accusations made against me by his co-conspirators in Parliament and public gatherings early in the week. Kingpinship is a vacuous title and the sole preoccupation of idle minds.
I urge the people to beware of this latest plot twist in Gachagua's malignant influence.
I remain steadfast and unwavering in discharging my duties, and when time allows, will join Wananchi in any part of the country in worship and other social activities as usual.
720 youths had gone to Maanzoni Lodge for a seminar, purpose is still unknown though speculated on a presidential candidate strategy meeting.
Now the Govt has turned the lodge into a quarantine center, all the 720 will remain isolated for 14days & only released after testing.
