Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua claims foreign troops have occupied parts of Mandera, leading to five deaths and displacement, while accusing the government of silence. His remarks follow similar concerns raised by Governor Mohamed Khalif regarding Jubaland troops in the area.

• Foreign troops allegedly occupied parts of Mandera, resulting in five deaths, injuries, and displacement of residents.
• Rigathi Gachagua accused the government of remaining silent on the alleged territorial threats and urged President William Ruto to act.
• These claims come amidst earlier allegations by Gachagua about President Ruto's secret meetings with Al-Shabaab leaders, which Deputy President Kithure Kindiki dismissed as "reckless traitor" statements.
