Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has explained Dennis Itumbi's role in President William Ruto's administration. 

Speaking on Sunday, January 22, in Kirinyaga County, Gachagua noted that Itumbi is a close aide to President Ruto and has no designated office. 

"Huyu ni mtu wa Rais wa mkono. Ofisi yake inaitwa come here, go there. Hana ofisi yeyote pale lakini yeye ndio mwenyewe," Gachagua told the gathering as they broke in laughter.

He alleged that the scaring machinations against Itumbi were under former Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss George Kinoti.

"There was a plot to kill this young man. Kinoti sent his officers who kidnapped him and assaulted him, injured him on the knee, and removed his nails before being bundled into a car. While in the car, his tormentors were discussing how they wanted to kill him," Gachagua said.
