The government is rooting for the enactment of a law to confront legally the rising cases of forced disappearances and staged kidnappings and abductions in the country.
The move seeks to put in place a legal framework that addresses the current gaps in the law after public outcry regarding open kidnappings of Kenyans, especially at the height of Gen Z protests last year.
However, amidst calls for a transparent review of past abductions, the CS for Internal Security, Kipchumba Murkomen, said that security agencies have flagged increased incidences of fake and staged kidnappings and disappearances in the recent past.
Murkomen singled out the recent case involving Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburu, whom security heads termed a fake and well-orchestrated event after the MP continued being hospitalised at Agha Khan Hospital in Nairobi.
