Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua yesterday accused President William Ruto of using terrorism charges to stifle dissent even as he accused his administration of overseeing a State-sponsored militia to maim, kill and destroy property and then blame it on leaders perceived to be unfriendly to his administration.
According to Gachagua, anti-government leaders would be blamed for the mayhem caused by the “State-backed militia” and then charged with terrorism in a scheme targeting Mt Kenya to force the region to submit to Ruto’s intimidation.
