The opposition Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party is now threatening to push for criminal charges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the killings of protestors during the two weeks of anti-Finance Bill protests.
Led by Wiper boss Kalonzo Musyoka, the leaders on Friday said the atrocities meted on protestors by the police amount to crimes against humanity, charges preferable to the ICC.
They also raised major concerns over the abduction of protestors.
“We have a nation that is deeply troubled, and insecure and I don’t think there is any Kenyan who is feeling happy today and I don’t think even Ruto is happy because of how shocked he was,” said Kalonzo.
“As a parent, how does he wake up every morning and imagine what happened and yet not a word since the happenings on Tuesday from the so-called government spokesperson.”
The remarks came after Azimio leaders and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) handed over a report on 39 missing persons from the anti-Finance Bill 2024 protests to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
LSK and Azimio said they continue to receive reports from families of people who participated in the protests and cannot be accounted for.
Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo stated: “We gave (DCI) a list of almost 39 people who had been reported to us as MPs or as the LSK as missing; many of them were held incommunicado.”
