The attackers also stole essential equipment, including a camera and mobile phones,\u201d the station said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cape Media Ltd, which owns TV47, added that the team had reported the matter to authorities and was receiving medical and emotional support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe strongly condemn this blatant attack on press freedom and call on authorities to swiftly investigate this incident and ensure the safety of all journalists legally covering this and other events,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Journalists from the Standard Group and Royal Media Services were also targeted, further raising concerns about the safety of the press during political gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The violence sparked sharp political reactions, with Nyandarua Senator John Methu accusing the government of sponsoring the attacks to silence critics of President William Ruto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe made you the President. We can equally make you an ordinary citizen,\u201d Methu declared. \u201cIf you are man enough, do not send goons to stone us and police to teargas us. Come face us directly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unbwogable-and-unbowed\">&#8216;Unbwogable and unbowed&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Methu, a close ally of Gachagua, vowed that the Mt Kenya political faction would not be cowed into submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhether you like it or not, we will hold these public meetings. You have tested our resolve and resilience, but we are unbwogable and unbowed. We shall fight on until we deliver this country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, the National Police Service had mounted heavy security around JKIA, deploying water cannons, anti-riot squads, and helicopters to monitor the arrival. Despite the measures, violence erupted as rival groups clashed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gachagua\u2019s return from a 42-day tour of the United States comes at a politically charged moment, following explosive allegations he made abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former DP accused President Ruto\u2019s administration of secretly engaging terror groups, financing Sudan\u2019s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and holding clandestine talks with Al-Shabaab intermediaries in Mandera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen dismissed the claims as \u201creckless and damaging,\u201d warning Gachagua to present any evidence to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are so many people landing in Kenya every day, so I don\u2019t know why we should be worried about one person landing,\u201d Murkomen said in Murang\u2019a. \u201cBut if anyone attempts to cause unrest, they will meet the full force of the law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gachagua, however, insisted his US trip was \u201csuccessful and fulfilling,\u201d citing engagements with the Kenyan diaspora before cutting it short on August 11 to focus on upcoming by-elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Witnesses reported that unruly youths on motorbikes hurled stones at vehicles, robbed pedestrians, and harassed motorists, leaving a
