Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has vowed to seek justice for two young men whose lives were tragically cut short in police brutality in Ishiara Town, Mbeere North, following a by-election campaign. Speaking to residents in Ishiara on Saturday, Gachagua accused the government of making empty promises during the recent by-election campaign, which fell through after the election.
He stated that the situation worsened a month after the polls when the two young men were killed while seeking government services from police. Gachagua described the incident as a painful reminder of the broken promises and injustice faced by Kenyans. If elected, he pledged to overhaul Kenya's governance structures and ensure justice for the two young victims.
The incident echoes a similar event in Embu, where police allegedly shot two civilians protesting the poor state of the Ishiara level IV hospital.
