Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has denied accusations linking him to the recent protests in Kenya, calling them politically motivated. He claims the government is distracting from its failures by suggesting he financed the unrest.

• 16 people have died, with more than 400 injured during the protests, according to Amnesty International.
• Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen alleged the protests were an attempted coup, a claim Gachagua refuted.
• Gachagua criticized government actions, stating that the police response was excessively brutal towards peaceful demonstrators.
