‘They Are Planning To Kill You!’ – Gachagua Warns Kenyan Youth On Protests
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has warned Kenyan youth to avoid heading to the streets on June 25 to remember the fatal aftermath of last year’s anti-tax riots, warning of a conspiracy to kill them.
According to Gachagua, President William Ruto and Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja have started employing goons whenever they visit the Nairobi region.
He insists on using the same throng to launch a fatal assault on the kids.
The ex-DP claimed that a strategy is already in place to employ goons and disrupt the scheduled memory of the dead youth during last year’s protests.
“I fear that if the youth take to the streets, the government and the governor of Nairobi will use goons,” he told Kameme FM on Monday.
Rigathi Gachagua: Hundreds of youths have been tortured and killed by this administration. Only in the case of Albert Ojwang, Kasongo’s the evil plan never succeeded. The system is rotten to the core.

“They will be brought from Umoja, Kayole and other places and come to kill the youth.”
“The level of desperation William Ruto and his people have is very high and it is something to think about because these children are ours and I feel so bad when blood is shed,” he added.
“I would urge them to not come out in the streets because they will be set up and be killed.”
Gachagua asked parents and youth to guarantee that the march starts from their homes.
“These people really want to spill the blood of young people. I do not know why this blood is making them happy. Let us not take our children to the slaughterhouse while we watch,” he stated.

Gachagua referred to the mayhem that occurred in the CBD on Thursday, June 12, when protesters demanded the arrest of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Eliud Lagat over Albert Ojwang’s death while in police custody.
He claimed that the burnt cars were simply an excuse for the State’s use of violent police force.
“There was no car that was burnt because nobody has filed a report to the police that their car has been torched.”
The cars were checked in the NTSA (National Transport and Safety Authority) radar and they were found not to be registered to anyone,” he added.

“It was an attempt to try and bring the police to attack the youth and accuse them for burning the cars.”
This comes as demands for an assembly in Nairobi to mourn the youth who died during the protest as the nation commemorates the one-year anniversary.
Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has asked for the lighting of candles at Parliament Buildings to commemorate the fatal protests.
“On the 25th of June, Kenyans should go there and light candles in front of the gates, because we must honour the young Kenyans who died or were injured during confrontations with the police,” Kalonzo said during a church service in Kilifi.
