Secret tape recordings by NIS agents behind Ruto, Gachagua fallout
NIS security agents bugged (secret tape recordings) Rigathi Gachagua hotel room on August 30 during his tour of the Nyanza region
NIS security agents bugged (secret tape recordings) Rigathi Gachagua hotel room on August 30 during his tour of the Nyanza region.
According to Daily Nation, on the night of August 30, then-Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua made his way to Acacia Premier Hotel in Kisumu and had a lengthy meeting with an MP from the Rift Valley region.
What Mr Gachagua did not know is that some people away from this room were getting minute-by-minute, blowby-blow updates on the deliberations in the presidential suite.
This recorded conversation is now at the centre of the falling-out between the DP and his boss, William Ruto.
After the Nyanza tour and the emergence of the secret conversation, the relationship between the DP and Ruto was so severe that the following week, the helicopter carrying Gachagua was recalled to Nairobi moments after landing in Kirinyaga.
Some officials who attempted to reconcile the two said the secret tapes were the main reason Ruto refused to forgive.
Gachagua, who spoke upon his discharge from Karen Hospital, disclosed that National Intelligence Service agents had accessed his room in Kisumu on August 30.
Speaking outside Karen Hospital on Sunday after being discharged, Gachagua recounted the harrowing incident from August 30, revealing that his room was infiltrated by security agents who planted surveillance devices and tampered with his meal.

“For the first time, let me say that in Kisumu, undercover security entered my room, bugged it, and one of them tried to poison my food,” Gachagua stated.
“We detected the scheme and managed to avoid it.”
This revelation follows his recent impeachment by the National Assembly, which Gachagua suggests may be linked to these failed assassination attempts.
He further disclosed a separate poisoning plot in Nyeri, targeting him and the Kikuyu Council of Elders.
“I no longer feel safe,” he admitted, adding that he had dismissed intelligence officers assigned to his office after suspecting them of involvement in the plots.
