DCI boss Mohamed Amin has warned former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua against meddling with serious security issues.
Speaking to journalists on Saturday, April 19, the DCI boss slammed Gachagua for allegedly displaying theatrics in the media with serious security concerns.
While responding to Gachagua's recent assassination claims, Amin called on the former DP to follow the right channels and report the matter to the nearest police station.
He noted that just like any other Kenyan citizen, Gachagua would be accorded the security attention he needed to ensure he was safe and that his property was protected.
"If the former Deputy President has an issue in matters concerning the threat to his life and property, he should go and report to the nearest police station and stop engaging in media theatrics," Amin commented.
"Any report, just like other citizens of the country, would be investigated to its logical conclusion. I associate myself fully with the sentiments of the Inspector General and encourage Gachagua to report the matter to his nearest police station," he added.
Mohamed Amin's comments followed barely four days after the former DP raised alarm over alleged assassination attempts and persistent violence against his life.
Gachagua, in a statement addressed to IG Douglas Kanja on Tuesday, April 15, called for immediate action from the police boss to protect his life, that of his family and property.
He went ahead to accuse Kanja of reportedly withdrawing his security, claiming it was part of a clear, thought-out scheme and a backwards conspiracy to make him vulnerable to organised criminal gangs.
Gachagua further claimed that operatives from the National Intelligence Service (NIS) disrespected his right to privacy by trailing him and his family using unmarked cars.
“You are well aware that Security Agencies have been trailing me with marked and unmarked vehicles; notably on 19th of December, 2024, a NIS officer with a fake car number plate trailed me for over 150 km in Makueni for reasons best known to yourselves,” Gachagua claimed.
“As you are aware, you have a constitutional responsibility and duty to protect the life and property of every Kenyan… However, in this case, Mr. Kanja, you are perpetuating crime and violence," he added.
