Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has called for the identification, apprehension and conviction of all those who facilitated or were involved in the destruction of property during demonstrations.
In a statement on Tuesday, July 8, the lawmaker claimed that the facilitators of violence in the demonstrations should be charged with domestic terrorism for economic sabotage, coup, anarchy, and lawlessness.
In Kenya, according to the Prevention of Terrorism Act, anyone convicted of a terrorist act could face a prison sentence of up to 30 years, or even life imprisonment if the act results in death. "All these planners, executors, financiers, and perpetrators must be arrested and charged with domestic terrorism for economic sabotage, coup, anarchy, and lawlessness," the Senator said.
