Tuesday, January 7, 2025 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua now wants the International Criminal Court (ICC) to come for President William Ruto and his allies.
This is after it emerged that
Ruto’s government has contracted the outlawed Mungiki sect to instill fear in Mt.
Kenya ahead of the 2027 General Election.
As a result, Gachagua has
directed Mukurwe-ini MP John Kaguchia to file a petition calling for the ICC to
investigate the government over the use of the outlawed Mungiki faction.
In a statement, Gachagua alleged
that the government, through Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, is covertly
sponsoring the outlawed group with the intent to cause havoc among the people
of Mt Kenya.
While Gachagua did not mention
names, he referred to the December 31 political rally, led by the controversial
pastor and political leader Maina Njenga.
During the meeting, Njenga, who
has in the past been linked with Mungiki, revealed that he will be taking Gachagua head-on.
This announcement has triggered
Gachagua, who, in response, unleashed a scathing critique of the government
while pointing to the past incidents involving the outlaw group.
''The ICC should not wait until
crimes against humanity have been committed. This gang is known to have
committed crimes against humanity,'' Gachagua asserted.
''Why can't the police instead
of giving protection to that criminal gang as directed by the Deputy President
deal with the alcohol issue?'' he added.
Consequently, the former DP has
directed his ally, Kaguchia, to document all the crimes committed by the
Mungiki sect in the earlier years and forward the same to the court
