The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has accused the organisers of the Linda Mwananchi rally of arming their supporters during the event held in Kakamega on Saturday, February 21.
According to investigators, intelligence reports suggest that some participants were supplied with crude weapons before the rally began.
The DCI stated that such actions pose a serious threat to public safety and could lead to violence.
Officers monitoring the rally reported that groups of supporters were seen carrying items that could be used to harm others.
The agency warned that political gatherings must remain peaceful and free from intimidation.
The Linda Mwananchi rally had drawn large crowds, with organisers promising to push for social and economic reforms. However, the accusations have now overshadowed the event.
Security agencies say they are reviewing footage and interviewing witnesses to establish the extent of the alleged arming.
Local leaders have expressed concern, urging both organisers and supporters to respect the law.
They reminded citizens that freedom of assembly does not allow the use of weapons or threats.
The DCI has confirmed that investigations are ongoing and that anyone found guilty will face prosecution.
This incident has sparked debate across the country, with many Kenyans calling for rallies to focus on dialogue rather than confrontation.
The case highlights the growing need for responsible leadership and peaceful expression of political views.
As the investigation continues, the public awaits clarity on whether the accusations will lead to arrests or charges against the organisers.
