Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has directed Mukurwe-ini MP John Kaguchia to file a petition calling for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate the government over the alleged use of the outlawed Mungiki faction.
Speaking during a church service at Guardian Angel Tetu Catholic Church in Nyeri County 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.
”The ICC should not wait until crimes against humanity have been committed. This gang is known to have committed crimes against humanity. ‘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 further 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.
”Hon Kaguchia, you must get a team and document all the crimes that were committed by that team of outlawed sects in the 1990s because those were crimes against humanity and start engaging the ICC,”Gachagua directed.
With no doubt, Gachagua was relating 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 publicly revealed that he was supporting president William Ruto.
Njenga further introduced what he termed the Kabiruini Declaration, which commits young people in the region to work alongside the current government.
