Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has called out President William Ruto after acknowledging abductions in the country.
In an update on Wednesday, May 14, Muturi stated that Ruto’s recent remarks on the abductions confirmed the government’s involvement.
“He just confirmed what I’ve been saying all along! What was so difficult about simply acknowledging that these were state-sponsored killings and abductions, and putting a stop to them sooner?” he posed.
Speaking on Monday, May 12, Ruto sparked mixed reactions after saying Kenyans who were abducted during the Gen Z protests were reunited with their families.
He made the revelation while responding to questions raised by journalists during the joint press briefing with Finland’s President Alexander Stubb.
While Ruto did not reveal those who were behind the abductions, he said accountability measures were being put in place to ensure that such incidents do not occur again.
“All the people who disappeared or 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,” he stated.

“Now that William Ruto has acknowledged abductions, he needs to go further and acknowledge extrajudicial killings and disappearances, as well as the role of security forces in these acts.
“Ruto must also take steps to hold the culprits accountable, including those identified in the BBC documentary,” she stated.
