Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi on Friday, January 31 has yet again criticised President William Ruto over abductions and subsequent deaths in the country.
Muturi was referring to two individuals who met a tragic end after going missing in Mlolongo and one yet to be found.
Two families of three boys who went missing were dealt a blow on Thursday after being informed that their kin’s bodies had been found at the Nairobi Funeral Home, formerly City Mortuary.
Muturi stated,”I’m not aware of any policy that supports abductions. Abductions have been happening, and we are trying to normalise it. Surely, it cannot be business as usual,”
He added, “I’m calling upon the government. The buck must stop somewhere. To the President of Kenya, I’m calling upon you now to put an end to these abductions, as you promised.”
Muturi further criticised security agencies, accusing them of failing to protect Kenyans despite having the capacity to do so.
“I want to say we cannot be told the police do not know. Our police are known to be very efficient in these matters. If they wanted to, they would crack this case,” Muturi insisted, adding that the fight against abductions must be ‘taken to the next level’.
Muturi called upon the youth to continue speaking out against abductions. He also called on human rights groups, including the Kenya Human Rights Commission, to apply more pressure on the government and the President.
Asked whether he was worried about his position in the public service docket, Muturi dismissed suggestions that he could lose his job, instead choosing to focus on the abduction issue.
“The issue of my resignation or not… It suffices that I sit in government, and I am calling on the government, whose head is the President, that this matter of abductions must be discussed,” he said.
