DCP party leader Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed threats of arrest issued by Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen, insisting that he is not intimidated by such warnings.
Speaking on August 10, Gachagua noted that fear of arrest has never been a factor in his decision-making and would not deter him from expressing his views.
According to Gachagua, he is ready in the event authorities want to arrest him, even promising to reveal the exact time and flight details when he is set to return to the country.

Gachagua recalled previous arrests before the current administration took power, saying they only strengthened his political resolve rather than weakening it.
Speaking in Elgeyo Marakwet during an empowerment programme, Murkomen said Gachagua will be required to record a statement with investigators immediately after returning from the US.
CS Murkomen went on to accuse Gachagua of putting at risk the issues of security, declaring that the government would not sit back and watch.
He moreover accused him of carelessly using strange allegations for political expediency.
According to the CS, Gachagua will have to explain what he knows about the meetings the president supposedly had with the Al Shabaab representatives.
