DCI Threatens Action Against Gachagua in New Twist - April 2026

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has opened an investigation into former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua following sensational claims he made regarding a Ksh500 million scandal. Gachagua has dared the DCI to arrest him following a dispute over a Sh500 million exhibit in a fuel procurement probe. The DCI is reviewing remarks made by Gachagua for potential hate speech, ethnic contempt, and incitement after he linked President William Ruto to a Sh500 million exhibit. Gachagua has also claimed that President Ruto profits from the controversial oil deal, leading to further confrontation with investigators.
