Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has threatened to disclose what he claims are details of private, late-night meetings he allegedly held with his predecessor, Rigathi Gachagua, before the former Deputy President was impeached.<\/p>\n
Kindiki claimed he had kept a \u201cdossier\u201d of the discussions and
\nwarned Gachagua against pushing him further, suggesting he could make public
\nwhat transpired during the meetings if the former Deputy President continued
\nattacking him.<\/p>\n
Speaking during a public event in Embu county, Kindiki claimed he had made several late-night visits to Gachagua while serving as Cabinet
\nSecretary for Interior in an effort to help him avoid his eventual removal from
\noffice.<\/p>\n
\u201cGachagua, I came to visit you many nights when I was
\nInterior CS,\u201d Kindiki claimed.<\/p>\n
The Deputy President did not disclose the contents of the
\nconversations but alleged that he had information about his attempts to
\nintervene before Gachagua’s impeachment.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not push me to reveal how I tried to help you but you
\ndid not listen,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n
Kindiki’s remarks came amid increasingly bitter exchanges
\nbetween him and Gachagua, who has repeatedly criticised the Kenya Kwanza
\nadministration and accused the government of failing Kenyans.<\/p>\n
The Deputy President claimed his predecessor was looking down
\nupon him and warned that such conduct could have consequences.<\/p>\n
\u201cStop looking down upon me. You keep thumping your chest,\u201d
\nKindiki said.<\/p>\n
He appeared to link Gachagua’s alleged conduct to his
\nremoval from office, saying he did not want to adopt a similar approach.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it is that character of yours that got you removed from
\noffice, and I do not want to be like you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Kindiki also sought to explain his continued reference to
\nGachagua as his \u201cbrother\u201d, insisting that the description should not be
\ninterpreted as a sign of fear.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I call you my brother, it is not because I fear you,
\nnot that I love you so much,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Gachagua was removed from office in October 2024 after the
\nNational Assembly and Senate backed his impeachment. <\/p>\n
He was succeeded by
\nKindiki, who was sworn in as Deputy President after the Supreme Court cleared
\nthe way for his appointment.<\/p>\n
Since leaving office, Gachagua has increasingly positioned
\nhimself as an opponent of the Ruto administration and has accused the
\ngovernment of abandoning some of the promises made to Kenyans.<\/p>\n
Kindiki’s warning that he possesses a dossier on their
\nprivate consultations could reignite the political battle between the two
\nleaders, particularly as political activity intensifies ahead of the 2027
\nGeneral Election.<\/p>\n
The Deputy President, however, stopped short of revealing
\nwhat was discussed during the meetings, leaving the contents of the alleged
\ndossier unclear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Deputy President Kithure Kindiki during a meeting in Embu with Mt.
