Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua speaks at the DCP HQ on August 11, 2026./SCREENGRABFormer Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has claimed that attempts were made by government officials and security agencies to access the contents of his address ahead of its delivery on Tuesday.
Speaking at the DCP headquarters on Tuesday, August 11, Gachagua said he personally prepared the statement in which he gave his assessment of the Kenya Kwanza administration after four years in office.
“There have been attempts by government handlers and security agencies to find out the contents of my address before I do it, but they have been unsuccessful,” Gachagua said.
Gachagua said he wrote the statement himself, while his wife, Pastor Dorcas Rigathi, typed it for him.
“I did the statement myself, and Mama Boys (Pastor Dorcas Rigathi) typed it for me,” he said.
He said the only way to access him would be through his wife.
“So, unless you get to Mama Boys (Pastor Dorcas Rigathi), you can’t get to me,” Gachagua said.
