The most alarming bit of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s return to Kenya on Thursday was the re-emergence of goons, who had a field day terrorising, robbing and hurting Kenyans.

It is an ugly scene that has been replayed over and over again in recent months, as the Kenya Kwanza and its sympathisers pursue crude methods of stifling dissent.
