President William Ruto directed Inspector General Douglas Kanja to pursue strict legal action against anyone mobilizing young people as goons for chaos. The order followed a violent disruption at PCEA Kariobangi North church, where former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua attended a thanksgiving for a local election win; armed rivals fought outside, prompting police to fire teargas that affected those inside. Interior Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen condemned politicians bringing weapons to rallies, as six people were injured in the melee now under investigation. The warnings seek to prevent such tensions from escalating ahead of the 2027 elections.
