Citizens Party leader Rigathi Gachagua has accused a former police unit, Nairobi Sierra, of engaging in secret operations and warned its former officers to come forward with information. The claim was made on August 9, 2026, during a public statement by Gachagua, who leads the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP). He stated that the unit had been dismantled and its officers reassigned to different locations, but alleged that they were involved in activities that require transparency. Gachagua’s remarks come amid growing scrutiny of law enforcement practices in the region.
The Nairobi Sierra unit, which was reportedly linked to intelligence operations, has been the subject of public debate. Gachagua’s warning suggests a push for accountability, though no official confirmation of the unit’s activities has been released. The statement was made through a digital platform, highlighting the increasing use of online channels for political discourse.
Sources close to the matter say the unit’s dissolution was part of broader reforms, but details remain scarce. Gachagua’s call for transparency reflects ongoing tensions between political factions and law enforcement. (peopledaily.digital)
