Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen Saturday demanded that the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua record a statement with the police over his remarks on terrorism while in the United States.
They want Gachagua to record his statement upon his return to the country.
During his ongoing US tour, Gachagua has recently claimed that President William Ruto must explain to Kenyans why he allegedly met with three al-Shabaab militia at night to discuss “business.”
Gachagua also speculated that the government is hiding its intention by removing the vetting requirement for non-Kenyans before issuing them with identity cards (IDs).
“We are also here to put the Kenyan case to the American government, Congress and Senate.
William Ruto, Americans want to know why you’re working with Al-Shabaab; why, when you’re in Mandera, you met three leaders of the Al-Shabaab militia at night to discuss business with them,” Gachagua claimed.
“They want to know why you have removed the requirement for vetting of non-Kenyans before they’re given IDs.
The Americans are concerned that suspected terrorists will be registered as Kenyans and will find their way to America and the rest of the world and create terror in the world.”
Speaking on Saturday in Keiyo South, Elgeyo Marakwet, Murkomen criticized Gachagua over his utterances, citing that matters of national security should be treated with utmost gravity.
