National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah has called on the international community to keep watch on the ongoing demonstrations.
He warned that opposition chief Raila Odinga was allegedly using the same tactics as in 2007 to create anarchy and appeal to the international community to negotiate him to political power.
"We want to ask the international community to keep watch on the ongoings and particularly the ICC to keep track of the script being employed by Odinga and his sponsors," he said.
He spoke on Tuesday during a press conference at the Parliament Buildings.
Ichung'wah accused Raila of spreading disinformation and violence, adding that his only option was to abide by the rule of law.
"You have only one choice, to choose to abide by the laws of our country and do whatever you need to do within the provisions of our Constitution without interfering with the rights of other Kenyans to assemble," he added.
He said the issues raised by the opposition including the high cost of living could be discussed in Parliament and not on the streets.
Commenting on the invasion of the Kenyatta family land in Ruiru and the East Africa Spectre along Mombasa Road, the Kikuyu MP wondered where the Kenyatta family state security was during the incident.
National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah on Tuesday questioned the absence of the elite police stationed at the Kenyatta Family's Northlands Farm during the attack.
"Kenyans need to ask themselves the curious question, how come even the elite police officers who guard Northlands were nowhere to be seen," he said.
Seemingly accusing the opposition of being behind the attack, Ichung'wah said it was a coincidence that the attacks happened at a time when the police were busy at the demos.
"If the police could respond to the attack at EA Specter Limited, we pose the question to Odinga and his sponsor. How come we have not seen either the safety manager or security manager and all the police that guard Northlands estate?" he asked.
At the Kenyatta farm, Dorper sheep were stolen and property of unknown value was destroyed.
The EA Spectre invasion saw the destruction of windowpanes of the managing director's office.
