initiate proceedings against President William Ruto before the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Rigathi Gachagua is currently in the United States. And he's there for a reason. Former Vice President Gachagua is there to set up an evidence-gathering team to initiate proceedings against President William Ruto before the International Criminal Court (ICC). It is true that the reported murders, kidnappings, and enforced disappearances are crimes within the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice. Gachagua explained that Ruto's previous ICC proceedings related to the 2007 post-election violence had not been concluded, but had merely been suspended due to the disappearance of key witnesses. He also stated that his team is determined to ensure this time that all evidence remains intact and witnesses are protected so that the case can be closed. That will be difficult, however. As we see in Kenya, no sanctions have been and will not be imposed on the police officers implicated in these crimes. As a reminder, The BBC made a documentary in which they analyzed 5,000 images and videos. The result was that the killer police officers were very easy to identify. Nothing has happened so far, and nothing will. After Ruto took office in 2022, he disbanded the Special Service Unit (SSU). The Special Service Unit (SSU) was a specialized police unit in Kenya that originally emerged from the Special Crimes Prevention Unit (SCPU) and was renamed and restructured by then-DCI chief George Kinoti in 2019. The SSU was an elite unit staffed by experienced investigators and highly trained marksmen, combating complex crimes such as robberies, car thefts, terrorism, and organized crime. The unit operated nationwide and was known for its secrecy and close ties to the leadership of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). However, the SSU increasingly came under criticism for serious allegations of human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, and abuse of power. Particularly notable was the mysterious disappearance of three Indian citizens and a Kenyan taxi driver in July 2022, whose disappearances were linked to SSU officers. An investigation by the DCI's Internal Investigation Unit, headed by Mohammed Amin, revealed that SSU members may have been involved in these incidents. Based on these allegations, President William Ruto ordered the dissolution of the SSU in October 2022. He justified this by arguing that the unit had deviated from protecting the public and instead killed people. The decision was welcomed by human rights organizations, which called for a thorough investigation into the SSU's activities. The disbanded unit was dubbed the "killer police unit" because it was linked to numerous cases of extrajudicial killings and human rights violations. In summary, the SSU was once a highly respected elite unit of the Kenyan police, but was disbanded due to serious human rights violations and alleged involvement in illegal killings and enforced disappearances. This is precisely where we need to start. All the murders, kidnappings, all these crimes indicate that the SSU still exists. Some politicians believe that President Ruto maintains a secret hit unit. And this, too, clearly shows that the SSU still exists and that the president is using it.
