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 on Sunday, 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 on 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.
