Using his local dialect, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua alluded to a foiled attempt and decried the lack of arrest of the perpetrators. Below is the translation.
“And because God doesn’t eat Ugali, when that bullet was fired, rather than hitting the target (his head), it landed on his shoulder.”
“He spent a week at Nairobi Hospital, where they removed the bullet. Those stories President wasn’t aware of; I’m the one who told him.
“And when those people were asked, they started speaking in tongues (tam tam tam). Up-to-date, the people (assassins) who were sent on motorbikes have never been arrested.” Rigathi bitterly narrated.
Netizens were quick to comment on the Deputy President’s calls.
Where was he? Inside a car? On top of a car, walking on the streets? What location was the said attempt carried out? Where is the damaged car? Hospital admission report? Any witnesses? @CaptainRobbie99 posted on X.
He’s only whipping tribal emotions in a way, betting on the comfort of his tribe to seek sympathy. He won’t see the top seat any day,” Mwalandi 1 said on X.
