The National Council of Non-Governmental Organisations has petitioned the International Criminal Court to investigate Raila Odinga over Azimio la Umoja demos.
The council explained that Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party leader Raila Odinga had gone against the elections discourse system laid in place by the constitution to cause mayhem in the country.
In the letter, Samuel Githinji Macharia, NGOs council chairman requested ICC to come in and probe the protests that have led to mass destruction of property, bloodshed and loss of lives.
The council also accused Raila of using the state of unemployment and poverty of a majority of the youth to give them a stipend to appear at the demos .
“Despite all legal mechanisms followed to declaring the outcome of the elections where Raila Amollo Odinga was declared the loser among other two, he has gone ahead to incite those poor and idle youths against not only the government but also business people and institutions and those individuals he feels they belong to those who do not support him. These demonstrators have to be paid to take part,” the statement from the National Council of NGOs said in part.
