Public Service and Human Capital Development Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has called upon President William Ruto to order an end to extra judicial killings and abductions in the country.
While speaking on Friday, January 31, at Nairobi Funeral Home, where the body of four missing men from Mlolongo, were discovered on Thursday, January 30, Muturi asked Ruto to conduct an open inquiry, on the reasons beyond the rampant extra judicial killings and abduction of young government critics witnessed in the recent days.
“I’m calling upon the government, most particularly the president. Mr. President I’m calling on you to order an end to this abductions which you promised, extra judicial killings and an open inquiry on the happenings, we cant make it be normal. Someone must be held accountable,” Muturi stated.
Muturi’s call comes a day after Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Amin Mohammed appeared in court to answer on the whereabouts of the four, as their bodies are discovered in at Nairobi Funeral Home, booked on different days.
He also dismissed the claims about the police service not being aware of the persons behind the reasons of their killings even as two other men in Nakuru County, are said to have lost their lives in the hands of security officers.
“As we are here mourning and grieving these four who have gone missing, where also aware that two young men were killed in Nakuru.. In circumstances that are very clear those involved are security personnel, we cannot be told that the police do noy know, Our police force is the best in the region, if they wanted they would have brought the culprits to book,” he further affirmed.
Echoing the calls by Muturi, Makueni senator Dan Maanzo also said the police are withholding information, and not investigating the matter. He further said the cases of abduction will be tabled once the senate resumes.
“The police have a lot of information they are not giving us, they are not also investigating. Those officers need to be identified, so that this story can be told properly. We want the government to tell us where are our children?” Maanzo questioned.
The Kenya Kwanza has continued to receive public criticism over increased cases of abductions, despite the president’s promise of ending extra-judicial killings and abductions.
