MP James Gakuya accuses the police of negligence and complicity after teargas was used to disrupt a church service attended by former DP Rigathi Gachagua.

Embakasi North MP James Gakuya has launched a blistering attack on the National Police Service, accusing them of deliberate inaction—and potential complicity—following the violent disruption of a church service attended by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
The incident at St. Peter's ACK Church in Witima, Othaya, has ignited a political firestorm. Worshippers were sent fleeing as teargas canisters were lobbed into the sanctuary, an act Gakuya claims could not have happened without the tacit approval or calculated negligence of security chiefs.
Speaking to the press, Gakuya questioned how such a brazen attack could occur in broad daylight, mere meters from a police station, with zero immediate response. He dismissed the ongoing investigation as a "diversionary mission."
"You don't need to move engines to investigate," Gakuya raged. "All these bullets were being shot, and not a single officer came. It is a state-sponsored vendetta."
The attack marks a dangerous escalation in the region's politics. By targeting a place of worship, the perpetrators have crossed a red line, drawing condemnation from religious leaders and widening the chasm between the government and Gachagua’s supporters. For Gakuya, the message is clear: the police are no longer neutral arbiters, but political players.
