Azimio leader Raila Odinga has accused Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua of planning to cause chaos during Azimio's planned demonstrations on Monday.

Raila said he was privy to information that the DP, National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah and Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro met on Tuesday evening to plan how to counter Azimio rallies.

Addressing the media at Capitol Hill in Nairobi on Thursday, the Azimio leader claimed that Gachagua and his allies were plotting to hire youths and have them dress up in outfits similar to those won by Movement for Defence of Democracy, then cause mayhem.
