Makadara MP George Aladwa has defended Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja against allegations made by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, dismissing them as false, baseless and politically motivated.

In a statement on Friday, Aladwa, who is also the ODM Nairobi County chairman, said Kanja had risen through the ranks on merit and continued to lead the National Police Service professionally.

"We wish to come out and defend IG Kanja over claims made by Mr Gachagua. The claims by Gachagua are false and baseless," Aladwa said.
