A section of opposition leaders has expressed concerns about the rising human rights violations and political intolerance observed across the country.
Led by Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, the leaders condemned the alleged abduction of Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburi. "This horrifying incident is not an isolated case.
It is part of a disturbing trend where elected leaders and citizens opposing the government are systematically targeted to silence dissent," said Kalonzo.
Koimburi was reportedly abducted on Sunday by unknown assailants and later discovered in a tea plantation in Kiambu on Monday. The police have denied any involvement in the abduction, claiming that the MP tricked authorities to evade arrest. But the opposition leaders sharply criticised this assertion, saying it was shameful for people mandated to guarantee safety to all Kenyans can come up with such narratives. "When we hear outrageous claims like 'Mheshimiwa abducted himself,' we must pray for those spreading such narratives, as that kind of thinking is truly evil.
