Chaos in Busia as Police Teargas Aaron Cheruiyot and Farouk Kibet During Political Rally
Drama erupted in Busia after police reportedly fired teargas during a political gathering attended by Aaron Cheruiyot and President William Ruto’s close aide Farouk Kibet.
According to videos and reports circulating online, the incident happened as the leaders addressed residents during a charged political event where remarks criticizing former President Uhuru Kenyatta were allegedly made.
The situation quickly turned chaotic after police moved in and lobbed teargas canisters, forcing supporters and leaders to scatter.
Clips shared on social media showed crowds running in different directions as smoke filled the area. Supporters could be heard shouting while security officers attempted to control the growing tension.
The exact cause of the confrontation remains unclear, although witnesses claimed emotions had already escalated before police intervention.
The incident has sparked fresh political debate online, with Kenyans reacting strongly to the dramatic scenes involving senior allies of President William Ruto.
Some social media users questioned why police used teargas during a political gathering, while others linked the incident to the rising political tensions between factions allied to President Ruto and those associated with Uhuru Kenyatta.
Aaron Cheruiyot has in recent months remained one of the strongest defenders of President Ruto’s administration and has frequently exchanged political attacks with opposition figures and critics linked to the former Head of State.
Farouk Kibet, who serves as one of President Ruto’s most influential aides, has also remained at the center of political conversations due to his growing influence within government circles and public appearances across the country.
By the time of publication, no official statement had been released explaining why police dispersed the gathering using teargas.
Videos from the scene, however, continued spreading widely across Kenyan social media platforms as supporters from both political sides debated the incident.
