Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has raised concerns about a newly allocated train service in Ol Kalou, warning residents to avoid it due to safety risks.

Speaking at his residence, Gachagua accused the IEBC of acting under President Ruto's orders to delay the July 16 by-election, citing violence and voter bribery claims.

He argued that the train, reintroduced after 45 years of inactivity, poses dangers due to lack of safety measures and previous incidents involving vehicles.Gachagua also criticized Cabinet Secretaries for allegedly campaigning and bribing voters using public resources.

He called for unity among local leaders to address the constituency's priorities ahead of the election, while challenging IEBC's selective condemnation of electoral violence.The controversy highlights growing tensions in the political landscape as the by-election approaches.
