Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has accused police officers of raping 68 women during unrest that marred the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election in Nyandarua County.
The allegation has not been confirmed by police or hospital authorities. Speaking to reporters in Nyahururu, Gachagua also claimed one person was killed and 20 others injured in the violence, identifying the person killed as James Muigai and noting those injured were nursing gunshot wounds and head injuries.
"Yet they cannot report the attacks to the police because they were raped by the police men," alleged Gachagua.
