Former DP Gachagua Issues Urgent International Appeal

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has called on the international community to closely monitor Kenya’s security situation.

He warned that the country is facing a rapidly deteriorating environment. This situation could threaten stability. It may also endanger public safety.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Gachagua expressed concern over a surge in violent incidents. He also noted rising political tensions. Additionally, he described what he termed as growing intimidation of citizens and leaders holding dissenting views.

He argued that these developments, if left unchecked risk eroding democratic gains and undermining the rule of law.

Gachagua claimed that insecurity is no longer confined to isolated regions. It is spreading across the country. This affects ordinary Kenyans, businesses, and institutions.

He noted increased reports of crime. He also mentioned alleged misuse of security agencies. Additionally, he highlighted heightened political hostility. These are indicators of a deeper national problem.

The world must not look away as Kenya slides into a dangerous phase,” Gachagua said. He urged regional bodies, foreign missions, and international human rights organizations to pay close attention to unfolding events. He emphasized that international scrutiny has played a key role before. It has safeguarded peace during politically sensitive moments in the country’s history.

The former deputy president also warned that economic hardship combined with insecurity could fuel public unrest, particularly among the youth.

He called on the government to prioritize dialogue. Professionalism within security agencies is essential. Adherence to constitutional principles is necessary to restore public confidence.

In the past, government officials have dismissed similar claims by opposition figures. They described these claims as exaggerated and politically motivated. Officials insist that the country remains secure. They also maintain that law enforcement agencies are firmly in control of the situation.

Gachagua, however, maintained that his warning was driven by patriotism rather than politics.

He said Kenya’s long standing reputation as a stable democracy in the region was at stake and urged leaders to act decisively before the situation worsens
