The claims surfaced at the Milimani High Court during proceedings involving Jackson Kihara Gachagua, the son of the late former Nyeri Governor Nderitu Gachagua.
Kihara, who is currently serving a prison sentence following a conviction for robbery with violence, told the court that influential individuals allegedly visited him while he was incarcerated during one of the most turbulent political moments in the country.
According to Kihara, the alleged visits occurred in October 2024 at the height of the impeachment proceedings against former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

He claimed that senior state operatives and security officials made late-night visits to him at Manyani Maximum Security Prison and attempted to engage him in discussions related to family matters and sensitive information.
“They visited me in jail,” Kihara reportedly told the court, a statement that immediately attracted public attention and sparked widespread debate about the nature of the alleged meetings.
The inmate further alleged that he had remained silent for a long time but decided to reveal the information after receiving assurances regarding the welfare and security of his family members.
He maintained that there were efforts to pressure him into surrendering important documents connected to his late father’s estate.
Kihara also claimed that his legal troubles were not entirely straightforward. In his testimony, he suggested that his conviction was part of a broader scheme intended to gain access to family assets and strategic documents.

He argued that certain individuals had targeted him because of information and records he possessed regarding the estate.
Adding another layer to the unfolding dispute, Kihara alleged that several lawyers who had previously represented him were compromised, leaving him without effective legal support.

The claim has not been independently verified, but it formed part of the arguments presented before the court.
In a development that has drawn significant public interest, the High Court reportedly authorized security officers to escort Kihara from prison to retrieve documents he claims are hidden in a secure location.

The inmate told the court that he intentionally concealed the records to prevent them from being interfered with or destroyed.
The retrieved documents are expected to play a key role in a pending legal review scheduled for determination in the coming weeks. Legal observers say the case could have far-reaching implications depending on what information the records contain.
Meanwhile, the allegations have generated intense discussion across political and legal circles, with many awaiting further court proceedings that could shed more light on the claims.
