There is a special abduction squad targeting government critics: Karua claims
NARC Kenya leader Martha Karua now claims that there is a special abduction squad that is operating with the blessing of the government to suppress freedom of expression and human rights
NARC Kenya leader Martha Karua now claims that there is a special abduction squad that is operating with the blessing of the government to suppress freedom of expression and human rights.
Karua says the squad operates under instructions to silence individuals who often criticize President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza administration.
The NARC Kenya leader warns that the establishment of such groups is uncalled for saying elected leaders must respect the constitution.
“We have reliable information that there is an abduction squad that has been put in place…it comprises members of the police service and is housed in Karen, next to the deputy president’s residence,” Karua said on Sunday.
In addition, Karua condemned the abduction of renowned human rights Boniface Mwangi from his Lukenya home in Machakos County which occurred on the morning of Sunday, October 27.
She faulted the police officers for failing to identify themselves as required by law.
“The abductors did not identify themselves or say why and where they were taking Mwangi,” Karua observed.
Karua who has been vocal in calling out the government noted the abductions are conducted by people believed to be police officers who are supposed to take care of the people. She warned the government to stop the abductions.
“These kidnappings, disappearances and extrajudicial killings targeted on our children and largely Kenya’s innocent youth is now a signature modus operandi of the Ruto Regime. These abductions and killings of our youth is now a worrying trend that must stop forthwith,” she stated.

According to Karua, the abductions are dark reminders of the regime’s determination to silence dissent. She noted it’s time people see through this facade and stand up against oppression.
The NARC-Kenya Party leader also lashed out at President Ruto’s regime for allegedly forming illegal squads composed of foreigners to facilitate the abductions.
“A regime that finds it necessary to form a squad outside the official channels for terrorizing and murdering its citizens is a regime without any moral authority to govern and needs to be forced out of power,” she asserted emphasizing it is unconstitutional for such activities to be done.
“This targeting of activists, journalists, and youth is a direct assault on the principles of equality, justice, and freedom embedded in Kenya’s Constitution,” she added.
Karua maintained that the right to life and liberty enshrined in our Constitution must be upheld-not selectively, not conditionally, but absolutely.
