Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua.

Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has accused Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja of losing command of the National Police Service, blaming rogue plainclothes officers for insecurity in Ol Kalou a day before Thursday's parliamentary by-election.

In a 17-point letter dated Wednesday, July 15, addressed to Kanja, Gachagua said the security threat in Ol Kalou was not from goons but from rogue officers operating outside the police chief's command.

"Mr IG Kanja, you seem not to get it; the command of the national police service has completely gone to Mr Kipchumba Murkomen, Raymond Omollo and rogue politicians allied to Mr William Ruto," wrote Gachagua, naming Interior Cabinet Secretary Murkomen and Principal Secretary Omollo.
