Political Analyst Peter Kagwanja has hit at the Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome over his remarks that politicians hired bodies from the mortuary and claimed they were of people killed during the anti-government protests.
Speaking on KTN News on Wednesday, Kagwanja said Koome should instead have arrested the people he alleged hired bodies.
“Koome should have pounced on those who took photos in the morgue with the dead, he should have gone for them, we should now be reading it in the papers and Koome would be our hero,” he said.
“Koome had an opportunity. If what he said is true and I am sure as a Meru elder who is a member of Njuri-Ncheke he must be having the truth, why can’t you go and arraign those people that you are talking about in a court of law?”
This was the first time Koome was speaking on demos since they happened for three days last month.
Azimio leader Raila Odinga refuted claims by Koome and termed them as very disappointing adding that the victims have death certificates that prove they had gunshots.
"I don't know in which world he lives. Because the bodies we will be burying have bullet wounds on them and death certificates confirming the cause of death," Raila said.
Additionally, Raila noted there was a victim whose head was chopped off in Sondu.
