Much Noice About Nothing!

Much Noice About Nothing! Vice President Kithure Kindiki and Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen stated that upon his return to Kenya, Gachagua must explain what he knows about the serious allegations, which they described as a threat to national security. The politicians strongly condemned Gachagua's statement on terrorism, calling it unpatriotic and a threat to national security. Kindiki said: "We have no problem with Kenyans traveling abroad, but they must remain patriotic. Governments come and go, but Kenya remains. Those who insult the president should not use this opportunity to endanger the country's security." Rigathi Gachagua made controversial remarks on terrorism during his 2025 visit to the US. He accused President William Ruto of secretly meeting with al-Shabaab leaders at night in Mandera to discuss "business" and claimed the government was working with terrorists. Gachagua also criticized the abolition of security clearance for non-Kenyans prior to issuing identity cards. He argued that this poses the risk of registering suspected terrorists who could then enter the United States and other countries, posing a global security threat. Gachagua called on the US government, Congress, and the Senate to investigate these alleged connections, and he further urged US lawmakers to personally sanction President Ruto for these allegations, including human rights violations and links to terrorism. Gachagua also supported a US investigation into Kenyan police brutality and the government's ties to terrorist groups. Kindiki insisted that Gachagua must issue a statement immediately upon his return, as such a statement could not be ignored. Minister Murkomen also emphasized that Gachagua must be held accountable for his statements. Murkomen expressed disappointment at Gachagua's actions in publicly addressing security issues in a foreign country. Rigathi Gachagua returned safely to Kenya on June 16, 2024, and was greeted by ministers and a crowd at the airport. Since his return, he has continued to perform his official duties without interruption.
