UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar at the Hustler Centre in Nyali, Mombasa on April 6, 2026/ JOHN CHESOLIUDA Secretary General Hassan Omar has called on investigative agencies to arrest former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua over his remarks on the oil importation fiasco. Omar on Monday said Gachagua’s remarks are sponsored by a benefactor of the oil deal that involved senior government officials who have since resigned. Omar said Gachagua’s remarks on Sunday at AIPCA Gakoe Church in Gatundu North, Kiambu County, appear to suggest an unusual familiarity with the alleged scheme. If evidence establishes complicity, he should be treated as an accomplice and subjected to full force of the law,” Omar said. On Monday, Omar said the lies and deceit that Gachagua spews are fast becoming a cause of concern.
