NASA now turns to ICC after Supreme Court’s ruling

NASA has asked the International Criminal Court to collect evidence on post-election killing and hold President Uhuru Kenyatta liable.

Police said on Sunday that at least five people were killed overnight in Riverside, Ruaraka, an opposition stronghold.

NASA leader Raila Odinga accused the government of being behind the killings and put the death toll in violence at 31 since he returned from US. The police tally over the same period was nine.

“We call upon UNHCR, ICC to immediately begin collecting evidence which will identify atrocities that should be treated as international crimes,” Raila’s adviser Salim Lone said.

In a statement on Wednesday, Lone said every single life needlessly extinguished is unacceptable and should be treated as a heinous crime.

“The killers must face the harshest penalties the law allows. But when the killings are ethnically targeted, they are even more heinous and rise to the level of crimes against humanity,” he said.

“As all Kenyans know, these are subject to prosecution by the International Criminal Court.”

Lone further said Uhuru can only rule by cowing the people into submission adding his reign and policies have “irrevocably alienated” most of the population.

Lone said Uhuru’s latest “murderous rampages” have shocked many Jubilee supporters, who assumed he would erase his divisive and destabilizing legacy of illegitimacy.

Police have denied using live ammunition and targeting NASA supporters following allegations by several opposition leaders.
