• The United Opposition claims 24 attacks have occurred since November 2024, primarily targeting Rigathi Gachagua.
• The letter, signed by DCP Deputy Party leader Cleophas Malala, requests a meeting with Inspector-General of Police Douglas Kanja on January 30.
• The most recent incident cited was on January 25, 2026, at Witima Anglican Church in Othaya constituency, where Mr. Gachagua's vehicles were reportedly torched and teargas used.

The Supreme Court of Kenya is set to deliver a crucial ruling tomorrow, Friday, regarding the impeachment case of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. This decision will clarify the constitutional boundaries of judicial authority, specifically concerning Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu's power to empanel judges.

• The case challenges a Court of Appeal ruling that found Deputy Chief Justice Mwilu exceeded her authority by constituting an expanded High Court bench without exceptional circumstances.
• Kenya's National Assembly petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn the appellate decision and validate Mwilu's actions, while Mr. Gachagua filed a cross-appeal pushing for dismissal of Parliament’s case.
• The outcome will impact Mr. Gachagua’s impeachment challenge and could redefine the roles of the Chief Justice and Deputy Chief Justice in empanelling judicial benches.

Murang'a Woman Representative Betty Maina has denied involvement in the recent church attack in Nyeri, where former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and worshippers were forced to flee due to firing of live bullets and tear gas. Maina dismissed accusations that her bodyguards and relatives in the National Police Service were responsible, instead blaming Gachagua's Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) for instigating the chaos.

• The incident occurred five days before Maina's statement, specifically on January 25, 2026, at Witima ACK Church in Othaya.
• Maina plans to sue Gachagua for "continuous defamation."
• Despite condemnation from church leaders, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, no arrests or significant progress in investigations have been reported.
