Raila condemns ongoing abductions of young people
ODM leader Raila Odinga has called out the government over the recent abductions of young people that have been witnessed in the country.
Speaking on Wednesday, December 25, the Former Premier affirmed that the government should take the matter seriously and ensure enforced disappearances come to an end.
“The issue of abductions of innocent people. This is a primitive thing and it’s very strange. We cannot live in a country where people disappear for no other reason and are kept incommunicado for a long time. That shows that there is no government. The government must take this thing seriously and it must come to an end this year. We want a safe and secure country,” Odinga stated.
The former Prime Minister added,” Gone are the days when they used to arrest you and take you to Nyayo house. But these days you are being taken to unknown places. It is primitive and unacceptable.”
The country has been witnessing the abduction of young people in different parts of Kenya.
