The abductions that have taken place in the country is the work of criminals whom the security agencies have managed to stop on their tracks and are now pursuing them for legal action.
The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration Kipchumba Murkomen regretted that the president's account that the government had managed to stop the menace had been misinterpreted to mean his administration was behind it.
Speaking at the Marsabit County DCI offices during a Jukwaa la Usalama tour of the county, Murkomen pointed out that many people had misunderstood President William Ruto and sought to put the record clear that the Kenya Kwanza Administration had succeeded in ending the abductions just as it has been able to stop crime in other fields. "Just as we have told you that the government has been able to stop drug trafficking and illegal mining in Moyale does not mean that we are doing it," said the CS as he called for a stop to the habit of taking issues out of context.
The Cabinet Secretary who was accompanied by Inspector General Douglas Kanja also observed that commitment to duty had enabled the multi-agency security team to recover illegal firearms which included 201 guns and 1,309 bullets in the ongoing Ondoa Jangili operation in Marsabit Central sub-county alone.
