Narc-K Party Leader Martha Karua has called for the resignation of the Kenyan government following the discovery of multiple dead bodies in Kware, suggesting a pattern of mass extrajudicial executions. Karua’s remarks highlight a growing crisis in Kenya, where citizens’ safety and security appear to be increasingly compromised.
Karua condemned the government’s response to recent anti-government protests, noting the unprecedented deployment of the military on the streets—a move not seen even during the oppressive KANU era.
She accused the regime of being at war with its own people, citing numerous forced disappearances and brutal police actions. The tragic cases of Joshua Okayo, president of the Kenya School of Law’s Student Governing Council, and Denzel Omondi, a student at JKUAT whose lifeless body was found in a Juja quarry, exemplify the severe human rights abuses occurring.
The grim discovery of bodies wrapped in plastic bags in sewage pools further indicates, according to Karua, a calculated series of extrajudicial killings. She criticized the government’s response as either criminal complicity or gross negligence in its duty to protect citizens.
Karua demands President William Ruto’s resignation, condemning his regime as murderous and treasonous. She highlights the presence of snipers killing innocent Kenyans and denounces the DCI’s unreliable statements about the Kware massacre, urging Kenyans to reject the government’s deceit.
“One person can’t do that work alone. Any information from DCI is incredible. Police confuse Kenyans on the number of retrieved bodies in Kware. A civilian explained well that those sacks contained bodies” Karua lamented
Karua called for swift investigations by the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA) and the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR). She also demanded the resignation and investigation of Inspector General of National Police Service Japheth Koome and Nairobi’s Regional Police Commander Adamson Bungei for their roles in the violent suppression of peaceful protests.
Quoting John F. Kennedy, Karua warned that failure to allow peaceful protest would inevitably lead to violent revolution. She urged President William Ruto to heed the people’s voices and step down, accusing his administration of corruption, incompetence, and disregard for human life. The social contract between the Kenyan people and the KK regime, Karua argued, has been irrevocably broken.
As the nation mourns the loss of young lives and grapples with the implications of these discoveries, Karua’s call for accountability and change resonates with many citizens demanding justice and a government that genuinely values human life.
