01.12.2025 ⇢ The Day Gachagua Challenged Police Conduct
⌨Kenyan media on December 1, 2025, heavily focused on Deputy President Gachagua. In the morning, reports highlighted the ongoing controversy surrounding police actions at a Kariobangi North church (Citizen, Nairobi Leo), an incident from the previous day. By early afternoon, Gachagua escalated the situation, accusing the Inspector General of Police, Kanja, of aiding political violence and demanding action (Capital FM, Kenyans, People Daily). This direct challenge to police conduct became the dominant narrative, overshadowing other developments such as the new injectable HIV treatment and the transition to the Social Health Authority cover for teachers, which had been prominent earlier in the day.
