“There will be no country here. 2007 (post-election violence) will look like a Christmas party,” he said
The statement by Gachagua has since been condemned by NCIC chairperson Samuel Kobia who noted that the former DP will be held to account over it.
“The political instability and post-election violence witnessed in December, 2007 to early 2008 were triggered by the contested election results announced by the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK),” said NCIC
In response to NCIC, Gachagua called on them to take action against four leaders linked to the Present. The four are namely Tiaty Member of Parliament (MP) William Kamket, his Kapseret counterpart Oscar Sudi and Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei,
“Our Client further notes that the statements made by the aforementioned leaders have caused widespread disquiet among Kenyans regarding the credibility of the forthcoming 2027 presidential election.
The public perception fueled by remarks such as those by Hon. Oscar Sudi, some of which were made in the presence of President Ruto without any rebuke or distancing has led to a growing belief that there exists a deliberate plan to subvert the will of the people through rigging.” they said
