John Kaguchia, member of parliament for Mukurweini, disclosed how he managed to contact his party leader Rigathi Gachagua during his arrest by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). The revelation came during an interview with local media on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. Kaguchia explained that after being detained at Royal Media Services, he used a washroom to make a secret call to Gachagua.
The MP claimed he outsmarted DCI officers by hiding in the washroom and using a mobile phone to communicate. This incident has sparked discussions about the circumstances of his arrest and the procedures followed by law enforcement.
The DCI has responded to Gachagua’s claims, stating that investigations are conducted according to the law and are not influenced by political factors. The agency has asked Gachagua to provide evidence to support his allegations.
The situation highlights ongoing tensions between political figures and law enforcement, with questions about transparency and due process.
