You failed the President! Gachagua tells NIS boss Noordin Haji- You Must Resign
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Wednesday unleashed a bombshell calling for the resignation of National Intelligence Service (NIS) Director General Noordin Haji over what he described as dissemination of disjointed intelligence to President William Ruto.
Speaking during a live press conference, Gachagua claimed that the country has a disjointed intelligence system, insisting that NIS had failed in intelligence gathering, which could have been used to avert the fatal demonstrations on Tuesday.
During the same address, Gachagua also expressed his opinion that 13 NIS assistant directors were serving under what he described as Haji’s inept leadership, citing Tuesday’s events as a first.
Gachagua did not mince his words insisting that Haji, the former Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) holds the largest blame for Tuesday’s protest by failing to gather accurate intelligence leading to Ruto receiving actionable information.4

“We have a dysfunctional NIS that has exposed the government and the people of Kenya. Had the NIS briefed the president two months ago about how the people of Kenya feel about the Finance Bill 2024, so many Kenyans would not have died. There would have been no mayhem, but they slept on the job.”
“Noordin Haji must take responsibility for the deaths, mayhem, failing President Ruto and Kenya for not doing his job. He must do the honorable thing, not just taking responsibility but resign,” Gachagua stated.
According to Gachagua, the brewing rage that led to Kenyans storming Parliament was the clearest indication of failure since such actions were unprecedented in Kenya’s history.
The Deputy President also proceeded to laud Generation Z for making their voices heard.
“I want to call upon Gen Z to tell us whom to engage because they are tribeless, leaderless, and have no organizational structure but we would like to engage with the right people.”
