Police arrest 15 suspects after hired goons disrupt a church event attended by Rigathi Gachagua in Gatundu, escalating the political violence in Mt Kenya.

A church service in Gatundu South descended into chaos on Sunday, forcing police to lob teargas to disperse rival factions. The event, attended by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, turned into a battlefield as youths armed with stones and clubs clashed outside the venue, leaving several injured.
The arrest of 15 suspects has peeled back the curtain on the intensifying supremacy wars in Mt Kenya. Police reports indicate the youths were "mobilized from Nairobi" to heckle the former DP, a claim Gachagua’s allies have seized upon to accuse the state of sponsoring violence against him.
"We know who sent them," Gachagua told the congregation after calm was restored. "It is shameful to bring violence to the House of God." The disruption is the latest in a series of security breaches at Gachagua’s public events, fueling his narrative of persecution.
Analysts view the chaos as a warning shot from the establishment. With Gachagua rallying the region against the government’s tax policies, the use of "goons" signals that the political gloves are coming off. The church, once a sanctuary, has become the new frontline.
