Rigathi Gachagua, Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader, has dismissed investigations by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), accusing it of being used by the government to shield Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale.

• Gachagua insists his "kill the snake and its eggs" remarks were political metaphors for unseating President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election, not a call to violence.
• The NCIC has opened investigations into Gachagua's comments following public outcry.
• Gachagua claims the probe is politically motivated to divert attention from alleged offensive remarks by Duale towards the Mt. Kenya region.
