Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen announced that the government has launched an investigation into the violent attacks against journalists during DCP Leader Rigathi Gachagua’s arrival from the United States. Murkomen stated that stern action would be taken against those responsible, regardless of their political standing.

• Several journalists from Royal Media Services, TV47, and Standard Group were injured during the chaos on Mombasa Road.
• CS Murkomen accused Gachagua’s party of allegedly failing to notify the police about their planned procession, leading to lack of police awareness at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and along Mombasa Road.
• The confrontation involved youth hurling stones and barricading the road near Cabanas, disrupting Gachagua’s convoy and traffic.

Rigathi Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), is scheduled to attend the Harambee Stars vs Madagascar quarter-final match in Kasarani following his return to Kenya.
