President William Ruto has expressed that Kenyans who were abducted during the Gen Z protests were reunited with their families.
Ruto made the revelation while responding to questions raised by journalists during the joint press briefing with Finland’s President Alexander Stubb on Monday, February 12.
However, he did not reveal those who were behind the abductions.
Nonetheless, he added that accountability measures were being put in place to ensure that such incidents do not occur again.
“All the people who disappeared or who were abducted in what you said (Gen Z protests) have been brought back to their families and their homes
“I have given firm instructions that nothing of that kind of nature will ever happen again. It was my commitment as I became President that the extrajudicial disappearance of Kenyans would not be part of what we are doing as a nation.”
According to Missing Voices, enforced disappearances increased by 450 percent in 2024, with many of the cases reported during the anti-Finance Bill protests.

The report released on May 7 documented 55 cases of enforced disappearances in 2024.
“Some of the vehicles did not have local number plates. This makes it difficult to determine with absolute accuracy the identity of the security officers responsible for a series of enforced disappearances in the country,” read the report in part.
“Most victims of enforced disappearances were neither prosecuted nor allowed to demonstrate their innocence in a court of law. They have not received justice or compensation by the time of the report.”
Previously, security agencies have distanced themselves from the abductions. This is despite allegations made by senior government officials, including former Attorney General Justin Muturi.
