NO MORE HIDING EVIDENCE!” Rigathi Gachagua DEMANDS CCTV RELEASE ON REV. NDUMIA INCIDENT

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:01]I did place a call to our moderator Dr. Muto two days ago and I did with a lot of respect tell our moderator that I've received a lot of concern that this matter of this murder has not received sufficient attention from the church leadership.

[00:00:27]We must speak out because when you don't speak people they have killed our parish minister in Akuru next day they will go for the secretary general of the general assembly they'll come for the moderator of the general assembly we must speak out and let me Today it is unacceptable that the government is silent on this matter.

[00:01:05]We are having double standards in this country.

[00:01:10]This is a minister of PCA church, one of the largest churches in this country.

[00:01:17]A church that has contributed immensely to the development of this country since independence.

[00:01:24]If you go to Chora, the PCA hospital there for the last five decades has transformed lives.

[00:01:34]If you go to toottomo, the PCA hospital there is the savior of the people of that region. If you go to the hotel here at the eye hospital, if you go to the schools that have been developed by the church, it cannot be a parish minister in a PCA church is murdered.

[00:02:01]Not a single word from the inspector general of police, not a single word from the CS interior, not a single word from the president.

[00:02:12]Why?

[00:02:15]This is not just another ordinary Kenya and there's double standard in this country.

[00:02:23]A few months ago, some police officers in Capset went and beat up some young boys who are playing pool.

[00:02:35]The minister was all over ordering for the arrest of those policemen.

[00:02:41]They were beaten by some policemen. It was captured on video. The minister was all over.

[00:02:47]The inspector general of police issued a statement castigating the harassment of some young people in Capset by police.

[00:02:57]A parish minister in the PCA church is murdered in cold blood five six days later.

[00:03:09]Not a single statement from the Minister for Interior. Not a single statement from the Inspector General of Police.

[00:03:17]And I must say I am now persuaded that this government seems to have declared war on our church.

[00:03:31]Last year, goons, criminals stormed inside Mui PCA church, attacked men and women inside church.

[00:03:45]To date, nobody has ever been arrested.

[00:03:49]Not a single statement from the president, from IG, from CS Interior.

[00:03:55]Last December, criminals with the police with guns and tias attacked Christians inside Kobagi PCA church.

[00:04:08]Not a single statement of condemnation.

[00:04:10]Not a single arrest.

[00:04:13]Now a parish minister of our church has been killed. Not a single statement.

[00:04:21]And I'm just wondering since independence no government has ever attacked the PCA church. The pre the government of President Joya never attacked the PCA church.

[00:04:40]Daniel Armoy, brutal as he was, the nearest they came to attacking our church, is attacking Reverend Timothy, but outside the church.

[00:04:51]>> That's right.

[00:04:52]>> They never beat him inside the church.

[00:04:54]They beat him >> outside the government of Kbakuru Kenat's respect for PCA church.

[00:05:06]This church I took great time to persuade this church with our ministers to elect the current president.

[00:05:17]We elected you as president. What do you give us back in Kaid attack of our churches in Mui in Kio Bank and you are silent?

[00:05:29]Our parish minister has been killed. You are silent.

[00:05:35]Your CS is silent.

[00:05:37]IG is silent. But when you wanted to be president, you were in PCA church every Sunday from January to December.

[00:05:46]True or false? Yes.

[00:06:01]in one day.

[00:06:07]What happened to that love you had for PCA church? You used to come every Sunday to our churches. How come our minister has been killed and you are saying nothing? Your CS is saying nothing. The IG is saying nothing.

[00:06:28]Let nobody play around with this church.

[00:06:44]You want to let me say I want to ask a question. Shanice come here.

[00:06:57]How do the minister feel when this young girl now will never know the love of our father?

[00:07:07]What crime has this young girl committed to be denied the love of our father at such an early age and the government doesn't seem to care.

[00:07:22]So what happens to families of our parish ministers?

[00:07:29]How safe are our ministers?

[00:07:32]So these are questions that we shall ask and I'll be speaking tomorrow from Neri because if the worst comes to worst and there's no action, we'll have to mobilize our parish ministers to storm the office of the inspector general to demand answers so they can be assured of their safety >> and their families.

[00:08:04]>> That's right.

[00:08:06]>> Please sit down, Chenise.

[00:08:08]That young girl who was here representing these families, she captured the mood in all the families.

[00:08:17]And if church ministers are not safe, who is safe in Kenya? Who is safe? Because ordinarily retired moderator when you are in trouble you either run to your pastor or to the police station.

[00:08:40]I have been told, I don't want to speculate, that there's a CCTV footage showing the people who killed Reverend Dumier and the Christians in Auru are being intimidated to keep quiet and wait.

[00:08:58]We want to call upon the police to allow the church to release the CV footage so that we see what happened.

[00:09:17]We don't want cover up.

[00:09:20]I know yesterday they said they have they have arrested two people because they know we have a funeral tomorrow.

[00:09:27]We want to ask the residents of the Reverend Dumia was covered by CDV.

[00:09:35]We are calling upon police in Auru before we bury the Reverend Dumia tomorrow.

[00:09:45]Can you release the CV footage so that his family and Christians and all of us can have an idea as to who killed the man of God?

[00:10:00]Finally, Minama hotel gives dignity to our church. That is where our ministers and their spouses and elders when they go to Mombasa, they stay away from the normal hotels where there is alcohol and other things that are not consistent with Christian teachings.

[00:10:38]That hotel has been given to a receiver.

[00:10:42]They are collecting 15 million shillings every month and they are paying 10 to national bank of Kenya and 5 million shillings is going to the receiver. It cannot be and I am contacting a team of lawyers who are members of this church to intervene in that matter. Thank you. And I want to say that if the worst comes the worst, I'll have to mobilize our members and the wealthy people among our community to raise funds to bail out that hotel because it belongs to our church.

[00:11:27]I am also toldle mall in gong they want to force a sale so that that man in Kenya who is buying everything hotel in Mombasa I'll be seeking an appointment with the moderator of the 24th general assembly after the barrier so that we agree how to save these properties that belong to our members.

[00:12:06]Is a is a last act of humiliation of our church and our community.

[00:12:30]PCA graduate.

[00:12:54]I am going to talk very strongly and defend this church where I'm a member.

[00:13:04]I want to assure our parish ministers wherever they are.

[00:13:08]I with other leaders who work with me will fight so that you are assured of your security so that you don't serve in fear so that your families do not live in fear and anguish.

[00:13:26]as to what happened to Reverend.

[00:13:34]But I want to assure our church.

[00:14:27]But you That's
