The IG dismissed the letter as “a mix of propaganda and half truths”, saying it left out victims of criminals who took advantage of the protests to loot from businesses and destroy property.
IG Koome further warned that should Azimio's Sunday meeting turn chaotic, the NPS will respond accordingly.
The National Police Service (NPS) is not intimidated by threats, Inspector-General of Police Japheth Koome told journalists on Sunday, in response to news of a letter from the opposition's Azimio coalition to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
IG Koome was referring to opposition leader Raila Odinga's formal request for the intervention of the ICC over the alleged “killing and maiming” of his supporters by the police during anti-government demonstrations that began on March 20. His move signalled a long-drawn confrontation with President William Ruto’s administration.
