Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has now moved to seek the assistance of the Internation Criminal Investigations following claims by her competitor Wavinya Ndeti.
This is after Wavinya claimed that Mutua was planning to burn county offices to destroy evidence of economic crimes.
Mutua has written to prosecutor Fatou Bensouda requesting for investigations into her claims of arson on social media.
In his letter Mutua said that Wavinya should be charged on grounds of domestic terrorism and for perpetuating ethnic cleansing “The Sensational claim of arson in Ms. Ndeti’s letter can be construed to mean that there could be such a political and criminal plan by her or her supporters to frustrate my government by burning the said buildings,” alleged Mutua.
He urged for investigations to be carried out to prevent a repeat of the 2007 post elections violence as the arson claims were made to create fear and despondency among Kenyans.
“It is eminently important that all security organs are mobilised to thoroughly and speedily investigate the arson allegations made by Ms. Ndeti to deter any terror attacks on my government,” he stated.
