Speaking at a political meeting on Sunday, April 12, Gachagua warned his former boss that the chaos seen across the country could plunge the nation into a state of uncertainty before the 2027 General Election.
The former vice president warned that if anything happens to the United Opposition leaders, the country could easily descend into civil war.
“Do not create a situation that will force us to remove you from power. If Fred Matiang’i, Kalonzo Musyoka, Riggy Eugene and other leaders are injured, you will be removed from power. Do not drag this country into a civil war,” Gachagua warned.
According to Gachagua, security officers under Ruto, including the Minister of Internal Security Dating Murkomenhave failed to show the real picture of political terrorism witnessed in Kenya.
“We only tell the truth because people like Murkomen will not tell you the truth,” said the former vice president.
The DCP leader went on to say that gang terrorism will “overwhelm” the president, as happened in Sudan and Haiti.
“The RSF war started like this, but now it is Murkomen who is issuing passports. The Haiti crisis started like this… with their president… These groups that are walking around will be a problem later,” he said.
