The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has strongly refuted claims made by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua regarding abductions, police brutality, and incompetence, labeling them as "ridiculous, ill-intended and wholly without foundation." Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen separately condemned Gachagua for alleging that contaminated jet fuel may have caused the helicopter crash that killed former Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng'eno, calling the claims insensitive and shameful. National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohammed further alleged that Gachagua threatened to resign, preventing President William Ruto from meeting with Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu for mediation talks with Raila Odinga in 2023.
