Gachagua calls for ICC intervention in Kenya
Gachagua now says the International Criminal Court of Justice (ICC) should be alerted to keep an eye on Kenya following the alleged reemergence of suspected organised criminal gangs
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua now says the International Criminal Court of Justice (ICC) should be alerted to keep an eye on Kenya following the alleged reemergence of suspected organised criminal gangs.
The former DP instructed his allies to assemble seasoned lawyers to write to the ICC to avoid any loss of lives.
Gachagua warned the trend can be seen in the current abductions and killings of young Kenyans.
Speaking at The Guardian Angels Tetu Catholic Church in Nyeri during the Sunday Church Service, Gachagua alleged that criminal gangs are being formed in some parts of the country ahead of the 2027 polls.
Gachagua told area leaders to assemble astute lawyers and begin the process of inviting the ICC.
“The ICC should not wait until crimes against humanity have been committed,” Gachagua said.
“…..get a team of lawyers to write to the ICC to invite them to come to Kenya and make sure that the activities of criminal gangs are not allowed to take place.”
“You should document the atrocities that were previously committed by the same gangs because those were crimes against humanity and start engaging the International Criminal Court.”
Gachagua claimed that some of the gangs include those proscribed and which have in the past been associated with killings.

“In the past, the gangs descend on the people of this region with brutal efficiency, they beheaded people and circumcised women, raped our daughters and defiled our children.”
Gachagua alleged that years later, the same gangs are being revived.
Gachagua cited the 2009 incident where a gang invaded a village in Nyeri and killed 29 people before raping women and perpetrating other crimes.
Gachagua said it took an extraordinary intervention by the then Minister for Interior the late John Michuki to extinguish the groups.
Gachagua has called on the National Police Service to stop the regrouping of the gangs.
“Are you saying the youths have abducted themselves, killed themselves and thrown themselves in ditches? Let us be truthful,” Gachagua said.
