Mukurweini Member of Parliament (MP) John Philip Gichohi Kaguchia arraigned at Milimani Law courts over alleged remarks said to have been intended to incite hostility against supporters of President William Ruto.

According to the charge sheet, Kaguchia is charged with offensive conduct conducive to breaches of the peace contrary to Section 94(1) of the Penal Code.

The prosecution alleges that on August 1, 2026, at Naromoru Shopping Centre in Kieni East Sub-County, Nyeri County, the MP knowingly and intentionally uttered words in the Kikuyu language which, according to the charge sheet, were intended to provoke a breach of the peace.

The prosecution claims Kaguchia told members of the public that anyone in Kieni who voted for or supported “Kasongo” would be identified and socially isolated.

The charge sheet further alleges he said supporters would not be visited during bereavement, their dowry ceremonies would be boycotted, and if they fell ill they should seek healthcare in Sugoi, remarks the prosecution says were intended to provoke a breach of the peace.
