Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has called out President William Ruto and his Deputy Rigathi Gachagua for using police to teargas them as they presented their petition.
Sifuna was among Azimio MPs who were teargassed at the President's Harambee House office on Tuesday as they attempted to present a petition.
"My 50 colleagues and I have been teargassed outside the Office of the President as we marched peacefully to deliver the People’s Petition," he said.
Sifuna said DP Rigathi Gachagua had told them where to surrender their petition and they resolved to do so but instead of meeting the president, they were repelled.
"Gachagua told us we know where to find them. We do. We went there and instead met Police. Cowards!" Sifuna said.
The police lobbed teargas at the Azimio MPs led by Senate Leader of Minority Steward Masdazayo and Sifuna.
On Sunday, Azimio leader Raila Odinga said he will present petitions to four state offices during their Tuesday protests.
