Friday, May 23, 2025 - Naivasha Member of Parliament, Jayne Kihara, has accused President William Ruto of using State security agencies to intimidate allies of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, following the alleged withdrawal of her bodyguard.
Addressing journalists on Friday, Kihara said she now feels
"vulnerable and naked" without her security and warned that President
Ruto would be directly responsible should any harm befall her.
“Should anything happen to me, Dr. Ruto, you are to blame.”
“You once said you’d never use security for political
revenge - yet that’s exactly what’s happening,” Kihara stated.
The outspoken MP called on the President to uphold his
campaign pledge not to weaponize State security against dissenters, demanding
the immediate reinstatement of her bodyguard.
She cited the recent shooting of Kasipul MP, Charles Were,
as an example of the growing insecurity faced by lawmakers.
“My bodyguard was recalled, disarmed, and interrogated
despite not being present at the DCI Headquarters during the shootout.”
“This is pure intimidation,” she said.
Kihara further warned that withdrawing security from MPs
loyal to Gachagua sends a troubling message about the Government's tolerance
for political diversity.
“Being a friend to Gachagua is not a crime. I supported Ruto
in his campaigns.”
“I can also choose my political stand now,” she added.
Her remarks follow claims by DP Gachagua earlier this week
that State agents are targeting him, including alleged plans to poison him with
laced tear gas during a church visit.
