Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the violent disruption of a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) delegates' meeting in Embu, during which one person was killed and several police officers were injured. The incident occurred at Nembure Grounds during a meeting presided over by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, who was attended by senior national and county government leaders.
The suspects have been arrested by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), who are continuing their investigations and pursuing additional suspects linked to criminal acts committed during the unrest. Kindiki has dismissed allegations by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that bribery contributed to the chaos witnessed during the political event, maintaining that the GEMA community remains united and rejecting claims that residents could be influenced through money.
Gachagua, for his part, alleged that Kindiki and Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire used police officers to intimidate Gitonga Mukunji, a lawmaker.
