Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dropped a massive bombshell regarding the sudden disappearance of Standard Media Group Associate Editor Alex Kiprotich, throwing the country’s security apparatus into utter disarray. Breaking his silence on the shocking incident, Gachagua issued an uncompromising statement that completely dismantles the official government narrative surrounding the high-profile case.
His explosive intervention has pulled back the curtain on the alarming state of national security, exposing critical details that the top brass was desperately trying to keep hidden from the public eye.
The situation reached a boiling point after Kiprotich was intercepted along the Gilgil–Nakuru Highway by masked, armed assailants. This marked the second targeted attempt on the journalist in two months, following an earlier kidnapping attempt linked to vehicles assigned to specialized police intelligence units. Though the editor was eventually dumped alive near Masinga Dam nine hours later following intense public fury, the ordeal sparked widespread panic over state-sponsored intimidation of the press.
The Secret Command Chain Exposed
According to Gachagua, official police inquiries into the incident are a complete farce because the Inspector General of Police has been stripped of operational control. He revealed that a covert power dynamic now runs the National Police Service, bypassing traditional command structures to issue direct instructions to senior police commanders and investigative directors.

The Mau Forest Corruption Connection
The primary motive behind targeting Kiprotich stems from his explosive investigative work in the Mau Forest. The editor was finalizing a blow-by-blow exposé detailing how millions of shillings earmarked to compensate thousands of evicted Kipsigis families were siphoned off by high-ranking government proxies and administration officials, leaving victims destitute.

A Rogue 60-Member Tactical Unit
Gachagua revealed that following a high-level strategy session, a secret 60-member tactical squad—led by a recalled retired officer specialized in covert operations—was deployed to place Kiprotich under 24-hour surveillance. This rogue unit executed the abduction and was allegedly instructed to abandon plans to eliminate him only after the snatch was captured on camera. Gachagua linked this same unsanctioned unit to a string of unpunished crimes across the country, warning that absolute impunity has hijacked the security forces.
