Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has made explosive allegations, claiming that undercover agents linked to President William Ruto attempted to assassinate him by poisoning his food and bugging his hotel room during a Kisumu visit.
Speaking outside Karen Hospital on Sunday after being discharged, Gachagua recounted the harrowing incident from August 30, revealing that his room was infiltrated by security agents who planted surveillance devices and tampered with his meal.
“For the first time, let me say that in Kisumu, undercover security entered my room, bugged it, and one of them tried to poison my food,” Gachagua stated.
