Karungo’s summon came hours after chaos erupted at a funeral held at the Bibirioni Boys High School playground in Limuru, which was attended by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

Gachagua’s allies led by Thang’wa accused the state of sponsoring goons to disrupt the burial to undermine the influence of former DP in Mount Kenya region.

While speaking in DCI headquarters, Kiambu Road, where they pitched camp during the night, the Kambu Senator said they demand for quick and swift investigation of what transpired in Limuru.

“We demand for quick and swift investigation of what transpired   where an attempt on the life of Rigathi Gachagua was carried out by hired goons by the government. We truly believe it was a well-planned incident,” the Kiambu Senator said.

“I will not say Rigathi Gachagua is okay, I would say he is lucky to be alive today. If you look at the young men who followed him to his vehicle, had he not been evacuated using the right hand of the back seat, had he sat on the ordinary left side of his car, he certainly would have been hurt badly. I have talked to him, and you can feel he is not very okay,” Methu said.

On his part, Gachagua stated that he would not be intimidated or deterred from standing with Kenyans who rely on him for support during their moments of need.

“We just expect such a terrible moment of shame will not be repeated,” Gachagua stated.
