A section of anti-Mathira Mp Rigathi Gachagua demonstrates in Karatina Town in support of his arrest. [Kibata Kihu,Standard]MPs allied to Deputy President William Ruto have alleged there is a plot to instigate violence and rig next year’s General Election. They opposed a plan to arm chiefs and sub-chiefs, saying it was illegitimate and could portend a dark future for the country ahead of the polls. At a press conference in Parliament yesterday, the same day Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua was arrested, the leaders accused the government of a conspiracy to rig 2022 polls. “We call upon the Inspector General of Police to come out and assure Kenyans that he will not betray the oath of office he took,” said Ichung’wah.
