Ex-Peru President Ollanta Humala Jailed for 15 Years

Editorial - 0
Former Peruvian president Ollanta Humala has been handed a 15-year prison sentence for money laundering. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has raised the alarm over his personal safety, alleging a deliberate plot to eliminate him through the systematic withdrawal of his security. In a strongly worded letter dated April 15, 2025, and addressed to Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, Gachagua claimed there have been multiple attempts on his life since his ouster from office in October 2024. According to the former deputy president, his official protection has been pulled back as part of what he describes as a “well-orchestrated scheme” to expose him to harm. He also accused senior police officials of colluding with criminal gangs to endanger him, further alleging that the National Intelligence Service (NIS) is surveilling him and his family in violation of their right to privacy. “I am being trailed by NIS operatives in unmarked vehicles, and my homes in Nairobi, Nyeri, and elsewhere have come under threat from people known to the police,” Gachagua claimed in the letter. In response, the National Police Service issued a statement through spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga, rejecting the allegations while reiterating the force’s commitment to neutrality, professionalism, and the protection of all Kenyans. “The attention of the National Police Service has been drawn to a letter allegedly authored by Hon. Rigathi Gachagua. The Service wishes to reaffirm its role in promoting and safeguarding national security for all Kenyans, residents, and visitors,” the statement read. The NPS encouraged Gachagua to liaise directly with police at various levels should he feel the need for additional security, including ahead of any public events or travel. Officials also maintained that the overall national security situation remains stable, with officers on high alert to prevent criminal activity. However, Gachagua insists the threats are real—and growing. In his letter, he listed a series of incidents he believes were targeted attacks: November 2024: Gachagua says his convoy was attacked by hired goons during a funeral in Limuru. He labeled it a “failed assassination attempt.” December 2024: In Nyandarua, he alleges gangs, escorted by police, violently dispersed his supporters using teargas—even targeting mourners. January 2025: A prayer rally in Nyeri led by his wife, Pastor Dorcas Rigathi, was disrupted. Gachagua claims those responsible were known to authorities. Footage from the event showed former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga arriving with groups of youths who reportedly caused chaos. March 23, March 29, and April 6: The former DP cited further incidents of intimidation and disruption during events he attended across the country. Gachagua says these repeated acts of aggression have been met with silence from the authorities, despite numerous reports and appeals. He is now demanding immediate government intervention, including: Full reinstatement of his security detail, Protection of all his residences, An end to NIS surveillance on his family, and Arrests and prosecution of those behind the alleged attacks. He also issued a stern warning to the Inspector General, urging him to respect his right to hold peaceful gatherings and warning against further interference.

Raila Salutes George Oduor, His Longtime Bodyguard, in Heartfelt Tribute

Raila honours late bodyguard George Oduor in Siaya Says Oduor was deeply loyal and highly trained Served Raila from the 1990s until April 2024 ODM leader calls for full devolution of key government agencies Wants MPs to focus on oversight, not project implementation A Trusted Protector Remembered During an emotional farewell in Siaya, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga paid glowing tribute to his long-serving bodyguard, George Oduor. The burial took place at Ramba Boys High School. Raila described Oduor as more than just a bodyguard. He called him a rare and trustworthy man—someone he could depend on in life-threatening moments. “George was willing to take a bullet for me,” Raila said. “He wasn’t just loyal—he was exceptional.” Trained Around the World According to Raila, Oduor had undergone top-level security training in South Africa, Israel, and the U.S. He said these experiences made him a master in spotting danger and ensuring safety. “He topped his class in South Africa. Wherever he trained, he stood out,” Raila added. Oduor began working with Raila in the 1990s and served until his death on April 2 at Nairobi West Hospital. Time to Rethink Devolution Raila didn’t just eulogize. He also addressed national issues—especially devolution. He said the idea of devolution was met with fear and resistance early on, but insisted it remains the best tool to improve services across Kenya. “When well implemented, devolution can change lives,” he noted. Let Counties Run Infrastructure The ODM boss proposed that infrastructure agencies like KURA and KeRRA be moved to counties. He questioned how central offices in Nairobi could plan roads for places like Mombasa or Bungoma. “Planning for counties from Nairobi is simply inefficient,” Raila stated. MPs Should Stick to Oversight On the NG-CDF, Raila argued that funds should be handled by counties, not MPs. He stressed that lawmakers should not supervise projects they’re also managing. “Let MPs stick to legislation and oversight. Governors should run projects and be held accountable,” he said. The burial was attended by family, political leaders, and friends. Many described George Oduor as a humble, disciplined, and courageous man who gave his all in service.
