Former Kenyan Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has refused to record a statement with the police regarding allegations of terrorism, despite calls from Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen for him to do so upon his return from the United States. Gachagua has stated he is not afraid of being arrested and has offered to provide information to the US Senate instead. He has accused President William Ruto of having links with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Al Shabaab militant group. In response, Kenya Kwanza coalition leaders have dismissed Gachagua's claims, describing them as reckless and divisive. Murkomen has insisted that Gachagua must substantiate his allegations and record a formal statement with the police. Meanwhile, Gachagua has also criticized opposition leader Raila Odinga, accusing him of misleading his supporters and calling for both Raila and Ruto to be removed from office. Political tensions remain high as Gachagua continues his visit in the United States.
