Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has taken a swipe at the National Intelligence Service (NIS), accusing the agency of secretly deploying an officer to trail him from Nairobi to a funeral in Makueni County.
Speaking through his social media accounts on Thursday, December 19, Gachagua revealed that the NIS operative followed him to Mbooni, where he was attending the funeral of Bishop Dr. Francis Mulinge’s matriarch, Agnes Mwikali Muiya.
Gachagua claimed the officer’s role was to monitor his every move, listen to his speech, and record it, a task he deemed unnecessary and a misuse of taxpayer money.

“It was pointless to waste fuel and man hours having him follow us all the way from Nairobi to Makueni yesterday. It would save public funds to detail your officers in Makueni to listen to what I’m saying, record, and send to you instead of wasting public resources,” he stated.
