    "content": "77. For the past two years, His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua has persistently bullied state and public officers. 78. To illustrate— (a) His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua bullied Kenya Medical Supplies Agency officials into awarding a tender for the supply of mosquito nets to Crystal Limited, his proxy company. Crystal Limited had submitted a fake bid bond with the sole intention of fraudulently acquiring public property. (b) His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua routinely bullies public officers in national security organs, whom he subjects to public attacks and humiliation. (c) His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua routinely summons procurement officers in ministries and state institutions and instructs them to direct the procurement of goods and services in a specific manner. (d) In the presidency, His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua identified public officers who he thinks stand in his way of creating dominance within government and political kingship, and he has severely threatened, intimidated, and harassed them. (e) In 2023, His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua used his position as the Deputy President to intimidate public officers and a contractor and divert materials meant for the construction of the Kilifi—Malindi Road to tarmac a private road to Vipingo Beach Resort, a hotel associated with him. (f) His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua uses his constitutional power as Deputy President solely to implement sectarian, parochial, and personal interests that seek to profit him."
