Cleophas Malala, deputy party leader of the Democratic for Citizens Party (DCP), has warned of potential chaos during the ongoing African Nations Championship (CHAN) if former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is arrested upon his return to Kenya. He claims supporters might protest, disrupting the quarter-finals scheduled for Friday.

• Malala forecasts that Thika Road could become impassable if Gachagua is apprehended.
• Gachagua is expected back in Kenya on Thursday, August 21, having cut short his United States tour.
• The threat of arrest stems from Gachagua's claims that senior government officials met with RFT and Al-Shabaab, prompting Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen to demand a statement from him.
