Kindiki fires back after Gachagua links him to Gen Z crackdown
Kindiki dismissed the claims as “petty lies” and accused Gachagua of attempting to rewrite events surrounding the government’s response to the protests.
Nairobi, Kenya – Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has responded to accusations from former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua regarding the handling of the 2024 Gen Z protests. Kindiki dismissed Gachagua's claims as "petty lies," stating he was preoccupied with combating terrorism and banditry during that time. Gachagua, however, claims he contacted Kindiki after a National Security Council meeting to question the legality of orders to abduct, torture, and kill protesters.
Kindiki maintains he focused on addressing the terrorism threat and had no time to engage in Gachagua's allegations. The fallout between Gachagua and Ruto deepened over the Finance Bill 2024 and the protests, with Gachagua accusing Ruto of accusing him of opposing the government from within.
