Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has dismissed claims that Rigathi Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party, will be arrested upon his return to Kenya from a six-week tour in the United States. Kanja stated that Gachagua's arrival is an ordinary event, but also emphasized that no citizen is above the law.

• The National Police Service confirmed Gachagua's arrival would be handled like that of any other citizen, with safety assured.
• Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen warned against public disruptions, vowing legal action against those mobilising protests.
• DCP Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala accused the government of planning to deploy "state-sponsored goons" to disrupt Gachagua's arrival procession, alleging a meeting between Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and Murkomen, involving George Aladwa and Dagoretti North MP Beatrice Elachi.
