Gachagua, now heading the Democracy
for Citizens Party, claimed intelligence shows the government readying goons
and police for a crackdown during June 25 memorials marking the 2024 Finance
Bill storming of Parliament, where 19 died from police gunfire.
He called staying off streets a smart strategy
toward 2027 elections, not surrender.
While leaders like Kalonzo Musyoka
push turnout and some youth plan quiet remembrances, officials promise
protection for peace but firmness against chaos.
