The UDA expressed concern about recent ‘deeply worrying security’ incidents in a letter addressed to President Uhuru Kenyatta and copied to the ICC prosecutor.
According to UDA Secretary General Veronica Maina, the incidents are sustained by the state’s “inaction and condiment.”
Maina said this in reference to the Jacaranda debacle. Deputy President William Ruto’s Jacaranda rally was met with hooliganism over the weekend after rowdy youths pelted stones at the rally.
“It has become abundantly clear that the goons were encouraged and facilitated to prevent the event from taking place in accordance with the firm bedroom policy of using violence,” SG Maina said.
“This heinous practice is an official policy of the ODM, and it has been used for years to suppress democratic competition at the expense of innocent Kenyans.”
“As a general rule, nothing has been done by security agencies to prevent or arrest this “egregious criminality,” Maina said.
“In the handshake era, ODM’s bedroom policy and use of violence to advance political strategies appear to have tacit official support,” she said.
