It was a day full of drama as former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua jetted back after six weeks tour of the US.
From Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) through Mombasa highway, Gachagua's return was punctuated by armed goons who attacked his convoy. The theatre started at the airport after Gachagua's allies led by DCP deputy leader Cleopas Malala, were barred from accessing certain sections.
Gachagua touched down aboard Ethiopian Airline a few minutes past noon.
Then followed a joyous rapture from his followers as he emerged from his car sunroof.
