Leaders affiliated with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua have called upon the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate Kenya's security agencies after police fired gunshots and lobbed tear gas during a church service in Kigumo, Murang'a.
Speaking after the incident on Monday, July 28, the leaders, led by Murang'a Senator Joe Nyutu and his Nyandarua counterpart John Methu, issued the call to the ICC and international community to put a spotlight on the officers and come to Kenya's aid. "Please do not kill us, do not allow security apparatus to be controlled by politicians, because politicians may not know how to operate.
Let the mama mbogas do their small businesses, you do not have to tear gas them," Nyutu stated. "We want to call upon the International Criminal Court (ICC) to come and start doing investigations, because our security agencies can not help us.
We can only call upon the international community to come to our aid," he added.
