He mentioned that he was lying sick at the hospital without any member of his security team looking after him.
“It is unfortunate that when I was here in hospital, my brother and president Ruto ordered for the withdrawal of my security from the hospital here. I was here alone without a single officer looking after me,” Gachagua said.
Additionally, Gachagua said Kenyans should hold Ruto accountable if anything happens to him or any member of his family.
“I don’t understand but I want the people of Kenya to know that as I go home today, I have no security, and if anything happens to me or my family President Ruto must be held to account,” he said.

Why He Trusted Ruto
Gachagua said he trusted President Ruto together with residents of the Mt. Kenya regions ahead of the 2022 general elections.
He explained that no one of the current political leaders trusted Ruto even after they won the elections and were preparing to assume office.
He revealed that Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi and Labour CS Alfred Mutua demanded to sign a Memorandum of Association (MOU) before they formed government.
However, Gachagua said he is the only person who trusted Ruto verbally since they were Christians and went to Church together.

Ruto Wanted to Take Me the Matiba Route
The DP mentioned that his impeachment was a culmination of continuous persecution and stress for the last one year.
“President Ruto wanted to take me the route President Daniel Arap took Kenneth Matiba. He pushed Matiba up to getting a stroke and eventually dying. When I look to what the President is doing to me, especially now that I am in hospital, I think he wanted to take me the Matiba route,” he said.
Additionally, Gachagua said there were attempts to poison his food during his visit to Kisumu and Nyeri County.
