🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

Speaking during a press conference at his party headquarters in Nairobi on May 25, Gachagua said Murkomen must resign or be fired, insisting the CS has proven unfit to oversee the country's security architecture as Kenya heads into a critical election period.

“ How can Mukomen guarantee the safety of the ordinary Kenyans if he cannot guarantee the security of his appointing authority?,”stated Gachagua.

The former deputy president made the remarks after a man breached the president's inner security cordon, briefly interrupting the President's speech during a recent public appearance in Kilifi County.

Gachagua said the incident was not isolated, pointing to a troubling pattern of security failures that he argued exposed just how dangerously thin the president's protection had become.

He argued that in any serious democracy, both the CS Interior and the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, would have already stepped down following such a public and embarrassing failure.

"In other jurisdictions, by now, the CS Interior would have resigned, the IG would have resigned, everybody would have resigned," stated Gachagua.

The former Deputy President made it clear that, as much as he does not like President Ruto after their ugly split in October 2024, he does not wish him ill will, and that if anything happened to him, the whole country might plunge into turmoil.

Gachagua recounted a series of incidents, including a shoe thrown at Ruto in Migori in May 2025 and a water bottle hurled at him in Soweto, Kibra, on April 26 and 28, as evidence of a systemic breakdown.

He also cited a separate February 6 incident in Mombasa, where another individual breached the security cordon, with the former DP saying both the inner and outer security lines had been caught completely flat-footed.
