Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has challenged President William Ruto to be true to his word and ensure release of abductees.

He said many families are traumatised by the abduction of their children by an alleged special unit.

Gachagua spoke at Gakoigo grounds in Maragua, during the funeral service of four children who died after the house their house caught fire. "Am repeating again that the abduction is coordinated by a unit outside the police," he said He warned Police Inspector General Douglas Kanja not to be misled like his predecessor Japheth Koome who resigned a few months ago.

The former DP urged to uphold the rule of the law and expose the unit abducting the youth. "The police are supposed to protect the citizens but what happened in Limuru and Shamata is regrettable," said Gachagua. "The police are duty bound to protect Kenyans, but Ruto has destabilised his government, thus appointing the political rejects to assist him in running the government," he added.
