  "summary": "Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused President William Ruto of using Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah to intimidate church leaders and block Gachagua from attending services. Gachagua addressed worshippers at Kamangu Presbyterian Church, warning that his removal from government should not extend to places of worship. He also alleged that thugs were sent to disrupt a church gathering at Kariobangi PCEA Church. Gachagua accused Ruto of using political influence to intimidate clergy and interfere with church affairs, and criticized the MP for being used to target the Kikuyu community.",
