On 24th November 2022, two journalists from the Nation Media Group were assaulted  by security officers attached to Dorcas Gachagua who is the wife to the Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. A clip was seen on social media where Mwangi Muiruri was being clobbered by individuals dressed in plain clothes in the company of a police officer.

In the same incident, another journalist named Martin Mwaura had his phone confiscated by the security officers because he was capturing the assault on camera. The journalists had gone to cover an event on distribution of relief food led by the Second Lady.

The Independent Policing Oversight Authority is investigating the incident.
