Stop evoking memories of Kiambaa church massacre, Gachagua told

A section of legislators from Uasin Gishu County have asked former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua to stop bringing back memories of 2007-2008 post-election violence since the country as healed and moved on.

Speaking during a church fundraiser in Kesses, MP David Kiplagat of Soy and his Moiben counterpart Phyllis Bartoo noted that the former DP is trying to divide the country along tribal lines by making such utterances.

“We have all agreed to bury memories of 2007-2008, and we do not want to be reminded,” said Kiplagat.

“Everyone who was in Uasin Gishu in 2007/2008 does not even want to talk about Kiambaa or whatever happened. Leave us alone. In Uasin Gishu we live all tribes,” added Bartoo.

The leaders referred to comments made by the former DP in an interview on KTN news.

Then, Gachagua likened the attack at PCEA Kasarani on April 6, to the Kiambaa church incident, where about 30 villagers seeking shelter in a church were torched to death during the 2007 post-election violence.

“What happened yesterday… the message it has sent in the mountain is that the same people who had the impunity to burn Kiambaa church with people inside ….” Gachagua remarked.

“It has brought a lot of emotions, these are wounds people want to be healed… they have brought them back. The moment you send goons into a church to kill Gachagua and to kill Christians, you automatically bring the memories of Kiambaa church,” said Gachagua.

In the recent incident, goons stormed PCEA Kasarani church before Gachagua’s attendance.
