In Murang'a County, Kenya, police have repeatedly disrupted rallies and meetings organized by allies of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, including an incident in Kigumo constituency where police used tear gas to disperse supporters after a church service. The disruptions have involved clashes between police, alleged goons, and opposition leaders, with reports of injuries and damage to vehicles associated with Deputy President William Ruto's camp. This marks the second consecutive week of heightened tensions in the region. Meanwhile, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has publicly accused Gachagua of inciting unrest and politicizing the Mt Kenya region against President Ruto. In a legal development, the High Court ruled that Kindiki is legally in office, rejecting Gachagua's attempt to annul Kindiki's swearing-in and to have the presiding three-judge bench recused. Gachagua is seeking full compensation for his removal, but the court deemed the applications moot. Kindiki has also engaged with youth from Meru and Tharaka Nithi counties, urging support for President Ruto and emphasizing that the Kenya Kwanza government listens to the youth. These events highlight ongoing political rivalry and legal battles within Kenya's ruling coalition ahead of upcoming elections.
