Mathira Member of Parliament Rigathi Gachagua (

In his reply to a case filed by the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) seeking orders for him to forfeit Sh202 million, Rigathi says he is the victim of a political witch hunt.
“These proceeding are driven by mala fide (bad faith) desire to embarrass, punish and intimidate me for the stand I have publicly taken on the presidential succession in 2022; my political association and beliefs.”
