Kapsaret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has said that the government will arrest former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua following the detention of his allies.

According to the lawmaker, who is a close ally of President William Ruto, the government will also continue to apprehend other Gachagua allies who are said to have facilitated the demonstrations.

Speaking in Meru on Saturday, July 6, Gachagua confirmed that two Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) youth leaders were recently arrested and re-arrested over alleged links to the June 25 protests.

Gachagua claimed that President Ruto had directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to arrest young people who were affiliated with his party.
