Government responds to Rigathi Gachagua’s chemical poisoning allegations
Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura has refuted former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s claims that there was a plot to poison him with biological weapons on Sunday, May 18.
Speaking on Monday 19 evening, Mwaura said Gachagua’s allegations are aimed at popularizing his newly launched Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP).
“When we talk about biological weapons, honestly, it is laughable. Why would the government be interested in that? But you see some people have launched a political party, they must also create a momentum around it, and people are easily hoodwinked with that,” said Mwaura.
The Government Spokesperson pointed out that the state only targets corrupt leaders and individuals inciting violence.
“The government will only come for you if you are not able to account for your actions, you are a corrupt leader, an inciter, and if you are seeking political mileage by declaring very outlandish statements,” Mwaura added.
Addressing the media in Karen on Monday, Gachagua alleged that he received an intelligence report on Sunday that some individuals wanted to launch a chemical attack on his convoy.

According to the former Deputy President, the attack would have seen him brain-dead in 3 months.
The DCP leader also claimed that there was a plan to plant arms in his convoy during the Sunday operation.
“At about 2:30 pm, we received further intelligence from the deployed patriotic officers who were not in agreement with the evil mission, that they had clear instructions to plant arms and weapons in our convoy to provide evidence to arrest us and get evidence that they could charge us with in court,” said Gachagua.
He continued, “After about 30 minutes, the killer squad was joined by their counterparts, who were highly trained in the use of biological weapons. Their instructions were to poison me through inhaled chemicals that would paralyse my brain within three months. This was the intent and the purpose of the whole operation.”
The former DP noted that he and his allies had to change the route they were to follow.
