Kenya Kwanza MPS now claim youths are paid to participate in an anti-government protest.
In a statement by National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wa and Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot, after a Parliamentary Group meeting, the MPs on Saturday condemned the chaos witnessed during the protests.
The leaders claimed that the youth are paid to attend the demos.
"Youths are mobilised and paid between Sh500 and Sh3,000 each," they said.
The MPs also claimed that Azimio Chief Raila Odinga receives financial sponsorship from someone in the former regime to conduct the demos which turn out to be violent.
They added that the funds for the anti-government demos are distributed across the country right before the demos commence.
"Tens of millions of shillings are shipped across the country ahead of every demonstration," they said.
The MPs accused those who orchestrate, plan and finance the demos of mass displacement of people.
"This week, they mobilised armed gangs ferried from other areas and were deployed to visit violence and destruction of property in Kitengela, Mlolongo and Emali areas," they said.
The Kenya Kwanza leaders called on the Inspector-General of Police Japhet Koome and the Director of Public Prosecutions to investigate all acts of criminality, arrest perpetrators and charge them.
"But it is not just the violent demonstrators who should be prosecuted; the financiers and mobilisers of criminal gangs should also be charged with the various crimes that their money procures."
Over the past six months, they claimed Raila, with the support of his sponsor, has mounted a campaign of violence, bloodshed and anarchy against the people of Kenya over his defeat in the last elections.
