Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has sparked fresh political debate after making serious claims about the recent attack on Senator Godfrey Osotsi in Kisumu.WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.
Speaking during a public event, Gachagua said the attack was not a random act of violence. He alleged that it was carefully planned by powerful individuals within government.
According to him, President William Ruto and a senior official identified as PS Raymond were involved in organizing the incident.WATCH VIDEO.
Osotsi was attacked by a group of youths while at a restaurant in Kisumu. Reports indicate that the attackers confronted him over his political stand before assaulting him.
The senator was injured and later flown to Nairobi for treatment. While receiving care, Osotsi described the incident as an attempted assassination and claimed it was politically driven.WATCH VIDEO HERE.
Gachagua used this incident to warn that the situation could escalate. He claimed that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna might be the next target.
“What we are seeing is a pattern. After Osotsi, they are now coming for Sifuna,” he said.
His remarks have caused mixed reactions across the political scene. Some leaders have supported calls for a full investigation to uncover those behind the attack.
Others have dismissed the claims as political statements meant to create tension and fear among the public.
Security agencies have already arrested several suspects linked to the Kisumu incident. Authorities say investigations are ongoing, and more arrests could follow as they work to understand what really happened.WATCH VIDEO
So far, there has been no direct response from President Ruto or the official mentioned by Gachagua.
Government allies have avoided addressing the claims in detail, choosing instead to emphasize the need for calm and patience as investigations continue.
Political observers warn that such accusations, if not handled carefully, could increase divisions in the country. They stress the importance of relying on verified facts instead of speculation.
The attack on Osotsi has raised serious concerns about the safety of leaders and the state of political tolerance. As investigations move forward, many Kenyans are waiting for clear answers.
