Why didn’t Gachagua report to the police?

Gachagua defended his decision not to report the police about the allegations, saying the president William Ruto And Murkomen is responsible for security agencies, including the Criminal Investigation Department (DCI).

He claimed that direct orders from them had given the police permission to shoot the protesters or even kill those trying to invade police stations.

“I cannot report Ruto to the police because they are under him. I cannot report to the police on their own. I cannot report Murkomen to DCI Because they are under him. In a situation where my members and I are going through, I can only report to Kenyans, ” He said.
