Gachagua had accused Haji of failing to adequately advise President William Ruto on the Finance Bill 2024, leading to widespread chaos and loss of life.

Gachagua criticized Haji for mishandling intelligence that could have prevented the nationwide unrest on Tuesday, which resulted in over 20 deaths, 300 injuries, and the arrest of more than 50 people.
