Kenya Politics & Government3 stories
Political tensions in the Mt Kenya region are escalating, marked by claims of police misuse and politically motivated transfers linked to the 2027 general election. An incident at ACK Witima Church in Othaya, Nyeri County, involved the deployment of teargas during a service attended by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Following this, the United Opposition has requested a meeting on January 30 with Inspector-General of Police Douglas Kanja. The opposition group is seeking to address what they claim are 24 attacks targeting their leaders and supporters since November 2024. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is cited as the primary victim of these persistent attacks.
