Reports by popular News blog Kahawa Tungu, former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua has gone missing, and his disappearance is now the focus of a police search in both Nairobi and Nyeri counties. His sudden vanishing has left many Kenyans shocked and worried, with more questions than answers.
Gachagua was last seen earlier this week in Nairobi. Since then, no one has seen him or heard from him. His phone has been switched off, and even his close allies say they have no idea where he is.
This has raised serious concerns about his safety and what might be going on behind the scenes. Police first went to his home in Karen, Nairobi, hoping to find him or at least get some clues. But he was not there.
They later visited his rural home in Mathira, Nyeri County, but again, there was no sign of him. Neighbors in Nyeri told the media that they have not seen Gachagua for days, and the home has remained unusually quiet.
There were no signs of activity, and nobody appeared to be at the compound. People close to Gachagua believe he may have gone into hiding. They think he is possibly trying to protect himself from something bigger, maybe fearing arrest or political revenge.
Although there are no official charges made public against him, the rumors of political pressure have been growing. This has made many believe that something serious is happening behind closed doors.
His silence and the government’s silence have only added to the confusion and anxiety.The national government has not released any official statement about his disappearance.
This lack of information has led to more speculation and tension across the country. Some Kenyans fear that something bad may have happened, while others believe that politics is playing a big role in this situation.
Leaders from the Mt. Kenya region are asking for calm and transparency. They are urging the government to speak clearly and let the country know what is going on with Gachagua.
As of Monday morning, police had still not found Gachagua. The search continues in Nairobi, Nyeri, and possibly other areas as well. The former deputy president’s whereabouts remain unknown, and Kenyans are now watching closely, waiting for any new updates. The silence from both Gachagua and the government has left the public in the dark, with growing fears and uncertainty about what could happen next.
