Pause dialogue until the mystery of the Kware corpses is solved

Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula now wants to suspend the national dialogue on the country’s problems.

Savula said the dialogue should wait until the mystery of the bodies found at a Nairobi landfill was solved.

The call by President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga for a national dialogue of all stakeholders to discuss the issues affecting the country has sparked debate, but the Gem Z has rejected the call.

Raila defended the call for dialogue on Saturday, saying it would bring to light the key issues that need to be addressed for a better Kenya.

But speaking at an inter-school culture and journalism competition at St. Joseph’s Lumino Secondary in Likuyani Sub-County, Savula expressed his condolences for the sad events in Mukuru Kwa Njenga and demanded that the perpetrators be brought to justice.

“It is sad to see mutilated bodies in bags like the one the country is experiencing now,” Savula said.

The deputy governor called for independent international investigations to clarify how, by whom and for what reason the girls were killed.

Savula claimed that the national police could not be trusted to pursue the case conclusively.

Savula called for a private prosecution against former Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome, who resigned last week, and former Interior Minister Kithure Kindike over the deaths of protesters during anti-government protests.

“The retirement of the Inspector General is not a sufficient solution, every Kenyan must be held accountable for his actions,” Savula said.

This came at a time when the Azimio Brigade led by Raila visited the site where the bodies were found at a Kware site in Nairobi on Sunday.

At least nine unidentified bodies have been recovered from the Kware site, amid concerns over the large number of missing persons in the country.
