The controversy over who sponsored violence during the June 25 memorial protests has persisted, with senior government officials blaming the trail of deaths and destruction on incitement from opposition politicians.
Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Human Capital Development, and Special Programmes Geoffrey Ruku has accused former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua of orchestrating Wednesday's chaos, which he described as 'planned terrorism'.
Ruku further accused the opposition of attempting a forceful takeover of power, contrary to the Constitution, which recognizes the assumption of elective offices through a popular mandate achieved in an election. "You cannot attain leadership by dividing the nation.
It is of no benefit to seek power through polarization and the balkanization of the country," said Ruku. "Let the opposition tell Kenyans what they will do for them instead of engaging in divisive rhetoric that serves no national interest.
