At the same time, Gachagua faced criticism from some Kenyans, many arguing that the attack was pre-planned.

In the midst of the scandal, his critic, Chege Majuice, shared a video of what are believed to be policemen in plainclothes firing into a church while making abusive remarks.

He claimed that the photo, which showed ‘policemen’ with AK-47s and a police car stopping, was the work of the government. Majuice warned Kenyans to be careful as the country prepares for the 2027 General Election.
