Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka on Tuesday visited Davis Lichuma at Nairobi Women's Hospital, where the injured protester is receiving treatment, expressing concern over his condition and condemning what he described as a growing wave of alleged torture and enforced disappearances in the country.
Kalonzo, who was accompanied by DAP-Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa and former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Bedan (JB) Muturi, said he left the hospital deeply disturbed after seeing Lichuma's condition.
"I will not pretend I left unmoved. Davis has been tortured and you can see it. His family is now living in fear in their own country," Kalonzo said.
The opposition leader described torture as a crime under the Rome Statute, insisting it should never be treated as a political issue or justified under any circumstances.
Earlier in the day, Kalonzo said he met several young Kenyans at the SKM Command Centre who were allegedly abducted during last Thursday's march to Parliament. According to him, the demonstrators had gathered peacefully to commemorate those who lost their lives during the June 25, 2024, anti-government protests.
He alleged that unmarked vehicles had once again been used to pick up Kenyans from the streets in broad daylight, claiming the incidents amounted to enforced disappearances rather than legitimate security operations.
"This is not a security operation. This is an assault on our Constitution and on whatever is left of our conscience as a nation," he said.
Kalonzo also challenged the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) to expedite investigations into alleged police brutality, arguing that while some civilians have been charged in court, officers accused of using excessive force have not been held accountable.
He said a record of testimonies collected by the People's Restorative and Justice Commission from affected families would be preserved and, if necessary, presented before international bodies.
The Wiper leader further announced that an opposition government under his coalition would establish a national monument near the Kenyatta Mausoleum next to Parliament Buildings to honour Kenyans who have died during protests and struggles for democracy.
Kalonzo concluded by calling for accountability over every life lost, every bullet fired and every family affected, saying justice must ultimately prevail.
