Speaking with urgency, Gachagua said the country is heading in a dangerous direction and that silence is no longer an option.
According to Gachagua, the continued allegations of police involvement in violence, intimidation, and disruption of political activities have crossed a red line.
He said Kenyans are angry, frustrated, and tired of seeing security agencies being used to settle political scores instead of protecting citizens.
“If this situation continues, after the 16th we will demonstrate,” Gachagua said.
He added that the protests would not stop until Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, and the two Deputy Inspectors General are removed from office.
Gachagua accused the current security leadership of failing in their constitutional duty.
He claimed that instead of remaining neutral, the police have been accused repeatedly of accompanying goons, breaking up opposition meetings, and intimidating political opponents.
According to him, this behavior undermines democracy and threatens national stability.
He warned that when citizens lose faith in institutions meant to protect them, the consequences can be serious.
“The police must serve the people, not political interests,” he said, insisting that accountability is the only way to restore public trust.
The former deputy president said the planned demonstrations would be peaceful but firm. He stressed that Kenyans have a constitutional right to assemble and protest when their rights are violated.
He called on citizens from all walks of life to stand up for the rule of law, regardless of their political affiliation.
Gachagua also criticized what he described as the government’s failure to act despite public outcry.
He said leaders cannot continue pretending that everything is normal while tensions continue to rise across the country.
In his view, removing the officials in question would send a strong message that no one is above the law.
He urged President William Ruto to listen to the concerns being raised and take decisive action before the situation escalates.
According to Gachagua, leadership is about making hard decisions at the right time, not waiting until the country is pushed to the edge.
