Gachagua Alleges Plot to Arrest Auditor General Nancy Gathungu Over Audit Reports

Former Deputy President and Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has claimed that there are plans within the government to arrest Auditor General Nancy Gathungu over her audit reports exposing alleged misuse of public funds.

Speaking on Friday, July 31, during a meeting with Maasai leaders and supporters at his Wamunyoro residence, Gachagua alleged that he had received information from sources within the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) indicating that investigators had been instructed to find evidence that could be used to prosecute the Auditor General.

"As we speak, sources today at the DCI have reached out to me and told me that Kasongo (the President) has said that the Auditor General Nancy Gathungu should be fished for evidence against her because she is bringing to light all that theft within the government," Gachagua claimed.

He further alleged that senior government officials had directed the DCI to build a case against Gathungu because of her reports highlighting alleged financial irregularities.

"I have information that you have directed the DCI Director to look for grounds to have this woman arrested," he added.

Neither the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the Office of the Auditor General, nor State House had publicly responded to Gachagua's allegations at the time of publication. The claims remain unverified. #Elections2027 #Wamunyoro
