The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has issued a strong rebuttal to allegations made by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who accused the agency of politically motivated investigations and involvement in enforced disappearances and police shootings.

• DCI dismissed Gachagua's claims as "baseless" and "unsubstantiated."
• Key figures involved include Rigathi Gachagua and DCI Director Mohamed Amin.
• The DCI stated that investigative outcomes are guided by evidence and the law, not political considerations, and urged individuals with information to use official channels.

National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohammed has alleged that Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua threatened to resign, preventing President William Ruto from meeting with Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu for mediation talks with Raila Odinga in 2023.

• Rigathi Gachagua allegedly threatened to resign if President Ruto attended the mediation.
• The talks were intended to de-escalate political tensions and demonstrations following the 2022 general election.
• The meeting was scheduled to take place at the Mount Kenya Safari Club in Nanyuki.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has strongly condemned former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for alleging that contaminated jet fuel may have caused the helicopter crash that killed former Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno.

• Murkomen dismissed Gachagua's claims as "made-up, cooked-up nonsense" and "insensitive, irresponsible and shameful."
• The controversy arose when Gachagua demanded investigations into unresolved high-profile deaths, including that of Ng’eno, citing alleged intelligence about the fuel.
• Murkomen stated that preliminary findings attributed Ng’eno's crash to bad weather and challenged Gachagua to provide any evidence to investigators.
