On Thursday 11, during the launch of Defence CS Aden Duale's book "For The Record", Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua alleged that there was a plan to assassinate Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki on August 14, 2022, a day before the former IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati announced the presidential results.


Gachagua further claimed that Kindiki was the chief agent of President William Ruto in the 2022 elections and that there was a plot to eliminate him.

He claimed the plot was part of a larger plan to thwart Ruto's rise to power. However, the DP did not name those involved in the plot and remained tight-lipped about whether Kindiki filed a police report.

"A man who I don't know whether he will write in his book that he was almost assassinated on August 14 is today the Minister of Interior – Professor Kithure Kindiki," he stated.


Gachagua added that many of their allies were also offered money to abandon Ruto before the elections, a move that proved futile.


"What Kindiki said that we have little regard for money is true. Had this team given in to monetary offers, these people would be billionaires" said Gachagua.


"Money was offered left, right, and centre for the betrayal of Ruto but great men said no," he stated.
