Kenya’s opposition leaders have fiercely criticized President William Ruto’s government, accusing it of state-backed violence and pledging to escalate alleged human rights abuses to the International Criminal Court (ICC). This follows clashes in Kilgoris Constituency, Narok County, where police killed five civilians during a crackdown on a land dispute.

Opposition figures like Martha Karua, Kalonzo Musyoka, and Rigathi Gachagua blame the administration for orchestrating violence, illegal land seizures, and repression. In a joint statement, they called Ruto’s government a “gangster regime” that disregards human life and constitutional safeguards.

Karua highlighted similar incidents in Mavoko, Nairobi, and Ndabibi, arguing these killings reflect a nationwide pattern of abuse. The opposition also accused security agencies and oversight institutions of shielding perpetrators, further eroding public trust.

Musyoka stressed the need for international action, claiming compromised courts and watchdog bodies cannot ensure justice. “These are crimes against humanity,” he said. “Global scrutiny is essential to stop this regime’s impunity.”

The opposition also criticized the government’s handling of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). They demanded transparency in appointing commissioners, warning that credibility issues could undermine the 2027 elections.
