Two Machakos Members of Parliament (MPs) have stated that they will be taking legal action against the National Police Service and Inspector General Joseph Boinnet following the killings of NASA supporters in Mavoko.
The leaders affirmed that the police must be held accountable following the death of innocent civilians who only opposed the October 26 repeat presidential poll.
Mavoko legislator Patrick Makau and Machakos Woman Representative Joyce Kamene conveyed the plan during the burial of one of the victims of police brutality.
15-year-old Joseph Kaloki, who was shot dead at Jua Kali slum in Athi River town was laid to rest at their home in Mulau village in Mwala, Machakos county.

The MPs promised to file a case in court to seek justice for the victims. They further ascertained that governments across the world should protect their citizens but not kill them.
"It is painful to bury a 15-year-old boy who only obeyed his mother who had sent him to a shop," Ms Kamene stated.
The Mavoko MP accused the Jubilee administration of abetting atrocities against citizens affirming that it must be held responsible.
He warned that those behind the deaths and maiming of two other residents in the area during the protests must be held to account.
Mr Makau assured residents that he will be at the forefront in presenting the case in a bid of seeking justice for the victims and their families.
