Former Chief Justice David Maraga has strongly condemned the violence at Edwin Sifuna's political rally in Kitengela, Kajiado County, accusing the government of orchestrating the attacks. He stated that the President William Ruto administration is in a state of panic.

• Maraga, leader of the United Green Movement Party, highlighted the teargassing of a peaceful meeting in Kitengela on February 15, 2026, and a church service in Nyeri as signs of government panic.
• He urged the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to intensify voter registration, recommending bringing registration centers closer to people to overcome the Ksh1,000 to Ksh1,500 travel cost barrier.
• Maraga, 75, reiterated his presidential candidacy for the upcoming 2027 General Election, focusing on fighting corruption and involving the youth in governance.
