"Is Raila saying that no investigations should be carried out on the extrajudicial killings or is he saying that they did not happen? Kimani Ichung'wah.

National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah has advised Azimio leader Raila Odinga to provide information he has on extrajudicial killings to investigative authorities.

Speaking on Friday, November 4, the Kikuyu MP told Raila to stop castigating the government over the investigations and instead relay any information that he has.

Ichung'wah wondered whether the former Prime Minister meant that the government should not do any investigations or that there were no extrajudicial killings that happened in the country.

“The question we are asking the former Prime Minister, is he saying that no investigations should be carried out on the extrajudicial killings that happened in this country or is he saying that they did not happen? Is he telling us that it is a vindictive agenda that is targeting specific current and past state officers?” Ichung’wah posed.

Raila Odinga.

“Does Mr. Odinga know who these state officers are? And that’s what we are asking him, if you (Raila) know these current or former state officers are who may have been involved in extrajudicial killings, the right thing for you to do is not to castigate government for investigating but to walk to investigative authorities and relay the information you have,” Ichung’wah added.

Raila on Thursday said that the investigation into the extrajudicial killings turned out to be a witch hunt, maintaining that he was opposed to it.

“We firmly oppose the current trend directed by a vindictive regime and President that seems to be pursuing a personal vendetta against specific current and past state officers in the pretext of pursuing extrajudicial killing,” Raila said.
