According to Gachagua, Koimburi pulled some chemicals during the capture, which led to the loss of speech.
Gachagua also said that the MP suffered soft tissue injuries, indicating that he might have been suffering from a professional.
“Some chemicals were infused through inhalation, and doctors have told us that preliminary studies have shown that the chemical has affected the vocal fibers. Doctors have assured us that they do everything possible to make sure he is not at risk anymore,” Said Gachagua.
He added that the sample from the MP’s body was taken for further investigation.
“They have taken blood and urine samples and sent them to various laboratories to find out if there were any poison,” he added.

The newspaper offered a chance for President William Ruto’s new ridicule against his former deputy, Kithure Kindiki.
During his visit to Meru County, President Ruto openly expressed his interest in Kindiki, citing him as an important pillar in his government’s success.
At the launch of a wildlife compensation program at Meru National Park, Ruto praised Kindiki for his significant contribution to leadership.
“Kindiki is a man I would have been with from the beginning, I would be more happy. Now I have a deputy who see him traveling around the country, launching development projects and mobilizing Kenyans about ways to raise our economy and improve their lives,” He said.
Ruto referred to Kindiki as a strong leader, a visionary vision and not involved in conflict, ethnic or personal interests.
According to Ruto, the broader expertise of Kindiki in key fields such as agriculture, health, education, infrastructure and security has made him an important ingredient in ensuring ministers fulfill their responsibilities.
His statements also seemed like a Dongo to Gachagua, showing that the former Deputy President was more involved in the politics of division and ethnicity.
“There are those who are interested in politics. They criticize the government’s efforts, spread lies and use cheap politics to try to divide Kenyans, but we must move forward. When the campaign comes, Kenyans will elect leaders based on development results and not in noise,” Said Ruto.

The Secretary -General of the Federation of Trade Unions (COTU), Francis Atwolihe claimed that Kenyans are now deprived of work permits in Tanzania following the tensions involving activists.
This followed the dismissal of Kenyan activists who had gone to witness the case of Tanzania’s opposition leader Tundu Lissu.
Among the dismissals are PLP leader Martha Karua, former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga and human rights activist Boniface Mwangi.
“As a result of the Kenyan activists in East Africa, Kenyans working in Tanzania are being denied permits. This shows that there is a serious problem in East Africa,” claimed Atwoli.
