Kenya's Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has publicly refuted claims made by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua regarding an alleged assassination plot involving a police unit. Murkomen dismissed the allegations as politically motivated.

• Kipchumba Murkomen described Rigathi Gachagua as a "clout chaser" seeking public attention.
• The dispute follows Gachagua's claims on June 24 that a police unit he previously accused of an assassination attempt had been redeployed to Nyeri County.
• Murkomen also accused Gachagua of ethnic profiling of public officers, specifically mentioning the Deputy Inspector General of Police.
