Waiguru: Security agencies must act on abductions
Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru has urged Kenyan security agencies, including IPOA, to address the rising cases of abductions, stating that these incidents make it difficult for government leaders to defend the Kenya Kwanza administration. She emphasized that President Ruto has directed an end to abductions and that there is no justification for enforced disappearances, following recent cases where missing young men were found after alleged torture.
Why it matters
The continued abductions and alleged police misconduct undermine public trust in the government and security institutions, highlighting a critical human rights and governance challenge in Kenya.
