The punch thrown by the lawmaker was due to the Point Blank show host being a constant critic of Ruto.
The TV host was on Wednesday taken into custody after causing disturbance at the Diani airstrip after being restricted to board a plane.
Gachoka, had been stopped from catching a Silverstone flight heading to Nairobi due to being in possession of liquor stuffed in his traveling suitcase.
Nehemiah Bitok, who is the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD), confirmed the incident and revealed that the political activist was under the influence when the incident ensued.

The Standard Group company staff together with his colleague, Citizen TV anchor Jeff Koinange, had been taken to court by Jimi Wanjigi over defamation allegations.
The two had been charged with a fine of Ksh 2 million which Gachoka failed to pay and was sentenced to six months in prison.
According to the the court, Gachoka and his counterpart went against an order issued preventing them from discussing a matter involving the businessman, another person identified as Sani Mbui Wanjigi together with Kwacha Group of Companies Limited.

Nyamai disclosed that his clients demanded that Gachoka and Koinange a compensation for slander.
The legal representative quoted an amount of Ksh 60 million as the fee to be settled.
