Five fatalities reported following the incursion of Jubaland forces into Kenya, as stated by Gachagua.
In a series of recent developments, Rigathi Gachagua, Deputy President William Ruto's running mate, has been at the forefront of several political issues.
Last week, Gachagua accused two Murang'a MPs of causing chaos among DCP leaders in Kigumo during a church function in July. However, he did not disclose the identities of the accused MPs, nor did the article provide information on the current status of the alleged chaos or any action taken by the authorities.
In a separate incident, Gachagua raised concerns about the presence of Jubaland forces in Mandera County. He was the first to bring this issue to light, and the deployment was initiated by the Jubaland administration in coordination with Kenyan authorities. Unfortunately, since the invasion, five people have lost their lives in Mandera. The Kenyan government, however, has not taken any action to address the worsening insecurity situation.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has stated that he wants to investigate the matter, despite Mandera Governor Mohammed Khalif confirming the issue. However, Murkomen has also been criticised by Gachagua for denying the presence of foreign military in Mandera.
Gachagua also expressed disappointment over the resurgence of the war on cheap and substandard liquor in the Mt Kenya region. He claimed that the youth have been left to consume such liquor under the watch of the government agencies. The article does not provide information on the specific type or brand of liquor being consumed or the current status of the war on cheap and substandard liquor in the Mt Kenya region.
During his tour in the U.S., Gachagua asserted that he mentored leaders within the DCP led by Senators Joe Nyutu, John Methu, MPs Jane Njeri, John Kaguchia, and Onesmus Ngogoyo. This claim was not verified in the article.
In a more political statement, Gachagua claimed that there is a scheme by the President to divide the Mt Kenya region, starting with Kiambu County residents. He did not provide any evidence to support this claim.
These developments highlight a week of political controversies and insecurity in Kenya, with Gachagua at the centre of several issues.
