A group of victims of the recent violent anti-government demonstrations has written to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Karim Khan asking for investigations on opposition leader Raila Odinga and retired president Uhuru Kenyatta over their alleged links to the protests.

The group, Victims of Maandamano Insurgents (VMI), claims that Azimio Coalition party leaders are behind the violent demonstrations that have occasioned loss of life, destruction of property and alleged attempts to overthrow the President William Ruto's government.
