Northern Kenya leaders have condemned Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's 'reckless remarks' undermining the National Intelligence Service (NIS).

Northern Kenya leaders have condemned Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's 'reckless remarks' undermining the National Intelligence Service .

"Gen Z protests only turned violent due to criminal infiltrators organized and financed by Gachagua and associates, potentially destabilizing the government that he serves," Maalim stated. Mandera East MP Bashir Abdullahi defended the NIS Director General saying the withdrawal of the Finance Bill 2024 by the President was informed by domestic intelligence from his office.

Isiolo Senator Fatuma Dullo said it was unfortunate that the Deputy President made such reckless when the country was at a brink of chaos. Gachagua criticized Haji for mishandling intelligence that could have prevented the nationwide unrest on Tuesday, which resulted in over 20 deaths, 300 injuries, and the arrest of more than 50 people. He alleged that Haji is now attempting to shift the blame onto former President Uhuru Kenyatta and himself.

"I want to call on the National Intelligence Service not to take us back to the dark old days of the Nyayo era, where propaganda and schemes were used to undermine leaders and those you disagree with," he said.
