NASA Faults International Community over Police Killings in Kenya

National Super Alliance (NASA) has once again blasted the international community for their silence over the killings of innocent Kenyans by police.

Speaking during a fundraiser for last week's police brutality victims, Nasa leaders led by Siaya Senator James Orengo lamented the silence from the international community, noting that this would not deter Nasa from pursuing justice for the victims.

“The international community is not talking about the killings going on in Kenya, but we will use human rights agencies in Kenya and the International Criminal Court (ICC) to get justice," Orengo said during the event held at Laico legency hotel in Nairobi on Friday night.

“Action must be taken against them,” Nasa principal Musalia Mudavadi said.

Nasa leader Raila faulted Jubilee for proceeding with President Uhuru's swearing-in ceremony when the country is mourning the killings.

“It is sad that the lives of young people have been cut short at between the ages 17 and 28. Those were very young precious lives needed for the development of the nation. What did they do, what crimes did they commit, did they have to die?” asked Raila.

Senator Orengo said the coalition has invited the International Human Rights Commission and the International Criminal Court to carry out investigations on police killings.

“This matter will not end here. These deaths are extrajudicial killings by the police against the people because of their political affiliation. The Jubilee leadership has not given a word of apology,” Orengo said as he took a swipe at foreign envoys in the country for turning a blind eye “as Kenyans cry for justice.”

“We will not tire until victory is won for the people and by the people of Kenya. Those who died have paid the ultimate price for the liberation of this country from poor leadership,” he added.
