Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has labeled President William Ruto and Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah "the greatest political cowards" following chaotic scenes and heavy police presence during his visit to Kikuyu Town on Saturday.

• Gachagua accused the government of using force, including live ammunition and teargas, to suppress dissent and block his political engagements.
• Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah called for an investigation into the violence, directly blaming Gachagua for orchestrating "organized and deliberate" disruptions.
• The incidents followed early morning unrest on the Southern Bypass, where barricades were erected and motorists attacked, disrupting traffic before police intervened.
