Azimio la Umoja co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka has asserted that he may consider heading to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the violence witnessed during the anti-finance bill protests on Tuesday, June 25.
Addressing the media on Friday at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), where he had gone to visit the victims, Kalonzo claimed that the government was heartless after deploying brutal force on protestors.
"In my view as senior counsel, we are going to document every case and perhaps even revisit the ICC and this time talk to them about atrocities committed against the Kenyan people by a regime which is heartless. We are yet to be told who are the financiers of this organic youth movement," Kalnzo stated.
The former Vice-President further noted that Kenyans were unhappy with the events on Tuesday, adding that he would be surprised if the president was happy.
He further called out the government spokesperson, Police Inspector General, and Nairobi Police Commander for remaining silent since the violent protests.

"I don't think there's any Kenyan who's feeling happy today. I don't even think President William Ruto himself is feeling happy, because I would be shocked if he was. As a parent, how does he wake up every morning and imagine what happened? And yet not a word from the government spokesperson, Police IG, and Nairobi police boss since the happenings on Tuesday," Kalonzo remarked.
The former VP called upon the president to order the halting of killings of young Kenyans, sensationally claiming that the Head of State must have given orders of shooting to kill.
"It is obvious that he (Ruto) must have given the directive to shoot to kill because those snipers could not have blown up the brains of the young people we saw at the mortuary the other day," Kalonzo stated.
His remarks come even as the High Court okayed the deployment of KDF officers to contain anti-finance bill protests.
