Kapsaret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has alleged that Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was among the financiers of the Anti-Finance Bill protests that occurred in June.
According to the ally of President William Ruto, the plot was to oust President William Ruto.
Sudi asserted that the DP belonged in jail over the allegations. However, the MP did not give any evidence to back his claims.
“My boss, it’s no longer a secret that you’re the mastermind behind the dead-on-arrival plan to oust our President. Young people were killed in the streets, and those jailed are a result of the money you poured to sponsor demos, yet now you claim you’re fighting for them! Save for the respect we have for your office, you belong to jail,” said Sudi.
The MP warned Gachagua that they would not sit back and see him plot anarchy to sabotage the current regime.
“Just know we’re woke and wise enough not to go after the piper but the chief financier of chaos. Tuko macho mbaya sana. We know what you’re planning kwa hii maneno inakuja lakini tuko rada. Don’t hide your ill intentions by attempting to box Mt Kenya people into a tribal cocoon,” he said.
Meanwhile, he expressed that the government would go after those who financed the protests that saw several lives lost.
On the other hand, the MP alleged that the DP was also keen to fight Mt Kenya politicians who had pledged their allegiance to Ruto.
“Unfortunately, you’re using upcoming political leaders like James Gakuya, Alfred Keter, and Benjamin Gathiru after attempting to mess up the political careers of brilliant leaders like Ichungwah, Kimani Kuria, Cecily Mbarire and Ndindi Nyoro,” Sudi stated.
The remarks of the lawmaker came after Gachagua alleged that state agencies such as the DCI were being used to fight him, staff in his office and his political allies.
Key allies of the DP including some Mount Kenya MPs are likely to be charged in court for allegedly financing the protests.
The accused are Embakasi North MP James Gakuya, Embakasi Central’s Benjamin Gathiru alias Mejja Donk, former Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu (currently working under Gachagua), and former Embakasi West MP George Theuri (working in Gachagua’s office).
