UDA presidential running mate Rigathi Gachagua has triggered an alarm with fresh allegations surrounding threats on his life.
The MP on Saturday startled Kenyans after he said his life was in danger.
He laid bare claims that a clique of suspicious people have been on his trail for some time.
In an exclusive interview with the, the first time MP uncovered details of intrigues that led to his public outbursts regarding threats on his life.
“I have been a subject of harassment by the state for the last four years. Since I became a running mate, the state has intensified surveillance on me and my family,” he said.
A day after his outburst, Gachagua told the Star that suspicious individuals trailed him to his hotel room demanding access.
“When I spent a night in Nakuru on Friday, there were strange people who were asking for me. They came before I checked into my room where they wanted access but they were denied,” he said.
“And at night, I heard some fellows hovering in the corridors. When I came out, they disappeared.”
The DP William Ruto’s running mate could not reveal details of the hotel he slept and the Star could therefore not be able to pursue key questions like any CCTV footage within the facility to identify the faces of the individuals.
Gachagua could not explain how the same hotel that denied the people access to the room could allow the group to walk in the corridors.
