A section of leaders have issued an ultimatum to the National Police Service to investigate the death of Christopher Gachari, who was run over by a VIP convoy heading to the Sagana meeting last Saturday, and make an arrest within 14 days.
Led by Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua, his Nominated counterpart David Ole Sankok and Senator Issac Mwaura.
"Gachari was one of us and his life mattered and if you do not make any arrests in 14 days we shall hold demonstrations demanding action from the police," Ole Sankok stated during Gachari's burial.
Mwaura affirmed that they will ensure investigations into the killing are carried out and the people who were involved are arrested.
He said, “We will not allow people who drive in vehicles fuelled by taxpayers’ funds to kill the same people they should protect.”
Gachari, who was disabled, died last Saturday in a road accident involving three VIP vehicles along the Karundas- Chaka Road.
At the end of the funeral service, leaders who wanted to speak were told not wait until the event end so they could make their remarks. This caused some drama.
The leaders maintained that they wanted to address the mourners and condole with the family.
Gachagua stated, "We want to ask the government and leaders from this constituency to fight for justice for the Gachari family."
