Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has demanded the immediate arrest of police officers for allegedly attacking his allies near a church in Murang'a on Sunday, July 27. The incident involved tear-gassing allies, including Nyandarua Senator John Methu, as they left a church service, leading to injuries and damaged vehicles.

• Gachagua accused the police of "barbaric acts" and called on Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to ensure citizen protection.
• The confrontation occurred at Ngonda Shopping Centre as the leaders were en route to another rally.
• Videos showed Senator Methu attempting to negotiate with police before tear gas was deployed, forcing his convoy to retreat.

The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), led by Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala, has threatened a school shutdown and "mother of all demonstrations" if the government does not disburse all school capitation funds within four weeks. This ultimatum comes amid confusion regarding the future of education funding in Kenya.

• DCP demands full capitation to be disbursed before schools reopen for the third term.
• Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi previously stated the government cannot sustain full capitation, citing a reduction from Ksh22,000 to Ksh16,000 per student.
• Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba refuted claims of scrapping capitation but confirmed a reduction due to increased enrollment.
• President William Ruto affirmed free primary and secondary education as a constitutional right and a key focus for his government.

Panic erupted in Murang'a County on Sunday, July 7, as police teargassed and fired gunshots to disperse a convoy of Rigathi Gachagua's allies, including Nyandarua Senator John Methu. The leaders were attempting to hold public rallies after a church service, but were met with a police blockade.

• The incident involved police officers and alleged "hired goons" ambushing Senator Methu's convoy.
• A vehicle from Senator Methu's convoy sustained damage, including from bullets, and several individuals were injured.
• This marks the second consecutive weekend that Senator Methu's convoy has been blocked by police when attempting to hold rallies.
