Belgut Member of Parliament Nelson Koech has asked former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to refrain from posting on social media if he suspects he is being trailed.
In a statement on Thursday, November 21, Koech stated that if the matter was serious, Gachagua should have reported it to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) rather than addressing it online.
The lawmaker claimed that the former DP has a problem with the security agencies, adding that when DCI summoned him before over related claims, he did not honour the summons.
“The former deputy president has a problem with our security agencies from day one. He has accused everyone in the security sector who he believes has a problem with him. He was invited before to make a statement with the DCI but he declined.
“So if he believes there are people who are trailing him, then the best thing to do is not to go on Facebook unless it is nothing serious. The best thing he should have done is to go to the DCI and write a statement,” Koech remarked.

His remarks come after Gachagua on Wednesday night claimed that security agents in unmarked vehicles have been trailing him everywhere he goes.
The former deputy president further alleged that the agents have been taking notes of visitors who visit his residence.
"Security agents in unmarked cars have been following me wherever I go. They are parking at the entrance of my Nairobi residence, taking note of all my visitors, and they trail me whenever I leave the house, even all the way to my rural home in Nyeri," Gachagua claimed.
He added, "I have thought it important to share with Kenyans the harassment and intimidation I am going through and inform them to hold the state responsible if I am harmed by state agents. I request the state to leave me alone!"
