CS Muturi calls President Ruto to end abductions, extra-judicial killings
CS takes direct aim at the President, says situation is urgent and gruesome and could plunge the country into chaos if left unchecked

The Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has taken direct aim at President William Ruto demanding he addresses abductions and extra-judicial killings.
Muturi, who termed the matter as urgent and gruesome, said it could plunge the country into chaos if left unchecked.
The former AG said the responsibility is with President Ruto as he is the commander-in-chief.
“The buck must stop somewhere. And who is this? The President? The President Ruto is the head of state of the Republic of Kenya, the head of government and commander in chief of all defence forces. Mr President, I am calling upon you now to order an end to these abductions and open an inquiry to examine how these things have been happening. We cannot normalize this. These are very young lives that have been taken away. Their parents have been agonizing,” he said.
The CS bashed the normalisation of extrajudicial killings, noting that the government must protect its citizens, not preside over their deaths.
He recalled Ruto’s pledges to end forced disappearances during his 2022 campaigns, yet the issue continued to persist during his reign.
The CS was sympathising with the families of four men who were abducted in Mlolongo, two of whom have since found dead at the Nairobi Funeral home.
He said it is unacceptable that the relatives have been looking for their loved ones for more than 40 days, yet the issue of abductions is not being discussed at a high level.
“It’s not right that parents and relatives can stay for periods over 40 days looking for their loved ones and you sit somewhere claiming that you’re discussing matters of the economy. Economy for who if you’re killing and abducting the young ones?” Muturi posed.
“Why do we have young men abducted and killed? These must come to a stop,” he added.
The two men, who had been missing for over a month, were identified as Mutumwa Musyoki and Martin Mwau.
Two men remain missing.
Muturi, accompanied by the families of the missing men and their lawyers, viewed the bodies at the mortuary, and demanded that the government take stronger measures to prevent such incidents from happening again.
