Tension has escalated sharply in Embu County after heavily armed police officers surround and occupy the residence of Manyatta MP Gitonga Mukunji.
The heavy police deployment follows the violent clashes that disrupted Deputy President Kithure Kindiki’s empowerment event in Nembure, where state officials and local leaders accused Mukunji of orchestrating the chaos.
Reports from the ground have indicated that security forces have deployed dozens of officers to the lawmaker’s home, preparing to execute an arrest over his alleged involvement in the violent stand-off.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has issued an urgent public statement, strongly condemning the law enforcement operation at the MP’s residence as political harassment.
Gachagua has claimed that hundreds of police officers have laid siege to Mukunji’s house under instructions from senior government officials.
He has further alleged that Deputy President Kindiki has sent threatening messages directly to the MP following the event, framing the siege as a calculated attempt to scapegoat the lawmaker.
Defending the legislator, Gachagua has argued that the violence has erupted naturally after thousands of local residents faced exclusion from Nembure Stadium during the cash distribution exercise.
He has maintained that the unrest stemmed from public frustration rather than planned opposition violence, describing the police operation as a cover-up to hide political mismanagement.
The former second-in-command has cautioned the government against intimidation tactics, urging state authorities to withdraw security forces from the residential property.
