DCP party leader Gachagua arrives in Kenya after US tour

Commotion was witnessed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) as his supporters thronged the premises, chanting his name while awaiting him to pass the checkpoint.

He was then escorted through the crowd by his security team to his awaiting convoy.

His supporters had camped at the airport from early Thursday morning.

Gachagua was in the U.S. for six weeks, where he mobilized supporters and held public forums with Kenyans in the diaspora.

He also maintained harsh criticism against President William Ruto's administration for corruption, extrajudicial killings, and human rights violations.

He is expected to lead a procession to the Kamukunji grounds for a public rally, a move that the government has promised to keep an eye on to prevent lawlessness.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has said that legal action will be taken in the case of mayhem and disruptions.
