Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has criticized former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for his inflammatory remarks about President William Ruto, warning they may incite national chaos.

• Gachagua accused Ruto of using divisive tactics against the Mt Kenya region.
• The statements were made during a burial on June 28, where Gachagua claimed his late aunt warned him about Ruto's leadership.
• Duale stated, "Such reckless statements are dangerous for our country’s peace and stability," emphasizing the need for responsible leadership.

The Judicial Service Commission, led by Chief Justice Martha Koome, has condemned the excessive use of force by police during the re-arrest of Peter Kinyanjui, a youth leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party, outside the Ruiru courts.

• On July 4, anti-riot police shot into the air to disperse a crowd during Kinyanjui's re-arrest.
• The JSC stated that the police's actions were "excessive, unjustified, and an affront to the authority and dignity of the Judiciary."
• The judiciary emphasized the importance of protecting courts as "sacred spaces of constitutional adjudication."
