She walked straight to the podium, her voice filled with pain, demanding to know what happened to her son.
Security officers tried to stop her, but Murkomen gestured for them to let her speak. Looking at her with concern, he said, “I feel her pain, pole mama.”
Brian Odhiambo, a 31-year-old fisherman, was last seen on January 18, 2025.
Witnesses claim that Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officers arrested him at Lake Nakuru National Park. Since then, his whereabouts remain unknown.
Wearing a T-shirt that read “Justice for my son,” Auma stood before the government official, her voice shaking.
"I have waited for too long. Where is my son? If he did something wrong, why not take him to court? I need answers,” she cried.
The crowd fell silent, listening to the desperate mother. Some murmured in support, while others shook their heads in disbelief.
"Mama, we are investigating this matter. The National Police Service is handling the case, and I assure you that those found guilty will face the law," he said.
He also exposed a disturbing issue within KWS operations.
"Instead of stopping illegal fishing, some officers are using the lake for their own business. This is unacceptable. We will deal with them," he stated.
His words drew loud applause from the audience, many of whom believed that corruption was at play.
The case of Brian Odhiambo has become a rallying cry for justice in Nakuru.
Many residents believe that powerful individuals are behind his disappearance.
One local leader voiced the frustration of many, saying, “How can a person be arrested and never be seen again? This must stop.”
"I will not stop looking for my son. Even if it takes years, I need to know the truth," she vowed.
Murkomen assured her that the government would act swiftly.
"No mother should go through this. We will find out what happened," he promised.
