Pro-government lawmakers are demanding the arrest of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for allegedly inciting violence for political gain, following recent chaotic protests in Nairobi.
- Didmus Barasa, leading the MPs, accused Gachagua of hiring goons to destroy properties in the Nairobi Central Business District.
- Yesterday's protests began peacefully but escalated due to police confrontation, resulting in injuries to 400 individuals, with 8 sustaining gunshot wounds.
- The protests commemorated the deaths of protesters from last year's demonstrations against a finance bill, raising concerns about political instability and public safety.
