Kenya’s National Assembly Speaker, Moses Wetang'ula, has called for urgent action in the wake of increasing cases of abductions and enforced disappearances.
His statement comes after disturbing reports of people being unlawfully detained, only to later be found dead.
"The police say they're not the ones abducting people. We want police to investigate and tell Kenyans who these criminal elements are in our midst.
These are people unlawfully arresting others, causing their disappearance, and eventually, they are found dead," Wetang'ula said, speaking passionately about the need for accountability.
The Speaker’s words come amidst growing fear and frustration from the public over the safety of individuals in Kenya.
The nation has seen a rise in mysterious disappearances, leaving families in anguish as loved ones vanish without a trace, only to be discovered dead after weeks of uncertainty.
“We need to know who is behind this. Who are the criminals responsible for these illegal actions?” Wetang'ula asked, emphasizing that the public deserves answers.
He added that the situation has become intolerable, urging the police to investigate thoroughly and hold the wrongdoers accountable.
While the police have denied involvement in the abductions, Wetang'ula’s call is a response to the growing concern about the role of law enforcement in ensuring the safety and security of Kenyan citizens.
Many are asking why such incidents are happening and why the authorities seem unable to stop them.
"We trust the police to protect us, but this is not what we’re seeing," Wetang'ula continued. "It is their responsibility to ensure that those who break the law are caught and punished."
The Speaker’s statement reflects the public's rising anger and demands for justice.
The issue of disappearances is not just about individual cases; it’s about the integrity of the justice system and the protection of basic human rights in Kenya.
