Public Service CS Justin Muturi has launched an attack on the government in which he serves lamenting the recent wave of abductions targeting Kenyan youth.
Speaking during a press briefing on Sunday at Serena Hotel in Nairobi, Muturi lashed out at the government headed by William Ruto demanding closure noting that he was most appalled by his son’s abduction in June at the height of the anti-government protests.
According to the CS, he felt compelled to reiterate the sentiments he expressed during a funeral service in Embu last week after his previous calls to security organs were ignored.
The CS revealed that despite being a senior member of the National Security Council when he served as the Attorney General, his son was abducted and no answers were provided.
”One of the things we had accused the past regime was the issue of abductions and forced disappearances. Today, there have been abductions and forced deaths mainly targeting the youth,” Muturi lamented.
”My son was personally abducted and disappeared making us anxious and at that time, I was the Attorney General of Kenya and a member of the National Security Council,” he added.

Additionally, he stated that despite his attempts to reach out to senior security figures to help him get his son, all he got was a cold response from the responsible individuals.
”I made attempts at all levels and to date more than 6 months I have never been explained the same,” the CS added.
As a result, the CS has implored President William Ruto to reign in on the vice.
Muturi noted that the silence from the government has eroded public confidence in the security organs and those involved should be held to book.
He therefore demanded that national security should reveal details on how many youths have been taken in by the abductees, how many have been released, and how many are missing.
Politically, Muturi’s sentiments not only reflect a growing wave of dissent over the recent spate of abductions but also highlight an emerging divide within the Cabinet on the issue.
