Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has alleged that state security agents in unmarked vehicles have been surveilling him.
He claimed these vehicles have parked outside his Nairobi residence, monitored his visitors, and followed him whenever he leaves.
Gachagua cited one incident where a car parked outside his gate trailed him to a church service and later to a meal before returning to his house.
He further stated that the vehicle’s registration details did not match its appearance, raising concerns over possible misuse of state resources.
Gachagua expressed fears for his safety, equating the surveillance to tactics used in past cases of extrajudicial killings.
He shared these details publicly to ensure accountability and safety, emphasizing that he wants to live peacefully as a private citizen following his removal from office.
He also questioned the continued monitoring, interpreting it as harassment meant to intimidate him even after leaving public service.
These claims have sparked widespread debate, with some viewing them as politically motivated and others pointing to the need for transparent governance.
The alleged surveillance has added to ongoing discussions about the state of civil liberties and the role of security agencies in Kenya’s political landscape.
