Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has told former CS interior Fred Matiang’i that he is having hallucinations and nightmares which need divine intervention.
While addressing congregants at an interdenominational church service at the Nakuru Athletic club grounds on Sunday, February 12, DP Gachagua said that Matiang’i was having nightmares because the prayers of the widows who lost their loved ones on river Yala, were working.
“Do not mind those pretending that they have been arrested. These people are having hallucinations and nightmares; they cannot sleep because they used the police to mistreat people. When they see an officer, they get nightmares. Forget about them,” Gachagua said

“The prayers of Widows, orphaned children, those who were murdered at the Yala River, those who were taken at Aberdares, those who were shot dead by police officers, that is what is haunting them they cannot sleep,” he added.
DP Gachagua was responding to Matiang’i’s claims of the police brutality he encountered when they raided his home to arrest him the previous week.

He said that the police are professional and would not do such heinous crimes.
“The police service we have is professional and has no time for politics or to go and raid a house at night. We have no time to deploy our police for nonsense,”
He further added that the former CS should do some soul-searching by going to church to get saved.
“We want to tell them to come to church to be saved. So that they stop having nightmares that they are being followed by police officers,” he said.

Matiang’i, while serving under former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s cabinet was accused of targeting political leaders unjustly, including President Ruto and Dp Gachagua who were at the time DP and Mathira MP respectively.
Gachagua pointed out that the injustices that occurred when Matiang’i was in office are coming back to haunt him and his allies.
In response to Matiang’i police harassment claims, the current CS of Interior security Prof. Kithure Kindiki and Inspector General of police Japheth Koome both said that Matiang’i was under investigation but no police had been dispatched for his arrest.
Their words were backed by DCI chief Amin Mohammed, whose office on Thursday, claimed that the police raids in Dr. Matiang’i’s home were stage-managed.
DP Gachagua asked the Media to practice caution when reporting to avoid cases of fake news.
