NAIROBI: Kenya´s ousted Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Sunday lashed out at his boss William Ruto as “vicious” and cruel, warning that his life could be in danger.
Gachagua was impeached by the Senate on five out of 11 charges levelled against him on Thursday, but a court order put his replacement process on hold.
The embattled 59-year-old known as “Riggy G” said his security had been withdrawn and his entire staff sent on compulsory leave.
“I am shocked by how vicious a man I helped to be president, believed in and was persecuted when I supported, could be so vicious against me,” he told reporters in the capital Nairobi.
He was speaking after being discharged from a hospital in the Nairobi suburb of Karen where he was being treated for severe chest pains.
