Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua claimed on Thursday that there was a plot to assassinate Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki a day before former IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati announced the presidential results.
Speaking at the launch of Defence CS Aden Duale’s For The Record book, Gachagua claimed that President William Ruto’s chief agent in the 2022 elections was to be eliminated on August 14, 2022.
He claimed the plot was part of a larger plan to thwart Ruto’s rise to power.
However, the DP did not name those involved in the plot and remained tight-lipped about whether Kindiki filed a police report.
“A man who I don’t know whether he will write in his book that he was almost assassinated on August 14 is today the Minister of Interior – Professor Kithure Kindiki,” he stated.
Gachagua added that many of their allies were also offered money to abandon Ruto before the elections, a move that proved futile.
“What Kindiki said that we have little regard for money is true. Had this team given in to monetary offers, these people would be billionaires.
“Money was offered left, right and centre for the betrayal of Ruto but great men said no,” he stated.
