Reports of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s alleged detention in the United States have sparked a wave of public support and demands for transparency.

Supporters insist that no formal charges have been made public and are calling for due process to be upheld. Voices from Mt. Kenya and across the country warn that the matter, if left unresolved, could fuel diplomatic tensions.

According to diaspora observers and political analysts, the situation has raised wider concerns about the treatment of African leaders abroad. Critics argue that such incidents, if confirmed, undermine legal protocols and national sovereignty.

Local leaders caution that failing to clarify Gachagua’s legal status could strain US–Kenya relations and inflame political unrest in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections.
