Democracy for Citizens Party leader Rigathi Gachagua has claimed that an attack at an Anglican Church in Witima, Nyeri County, was an assassination attempt against him.

Speaking alongside opposition leaders outside Jogoo House after meeting Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, the former deputy president alleged that the plot was sanctioned by senior government officials, though he did not provide evidence to support the claims.
