Meanwhile, despite being thousands of kilometres away from Kenya, Gachagua continued his sharp criticism of President William Ruto, maintaining that the head of state should serve only one term.
Will Gachagua take Ruto to ICC?
Meanwhile, Gachagua, who has been critical of the government since his impeachment in 2024, declared his intention to pursue charges against Ruto at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
He cited extrajudicial killings, abductions, and enforced disappearances allegedly linked to state operatives as crimes under the Rome Statute.
Gachagua said a team is compiling evidence for submission to The Hague. He also announced the formation of a committee led by former attorney general Justin Muturi to address restorative justice and compensation for victims.
