Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has urged President William Ruto to take retaliatory action against Tanzania, including banning its ruling party leaders from Kenya and withdrawing from the joint hosting of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (CAF) tournament.
Sifuna's statement comes a day after activist Boniface Mwangi and Ugandan human rights lawyer Agather Atuhaire shared chilling details of their alleged abduction, torture and deportation by Tanzanian authorities - a harrowing ordeal that has drawn condemnation from across the region.
Speaking in Nairobi a week after returning from Tanzania, Mwangi recounted a terrifying experience that began with their arrest while attending court proceedings for Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu. "They did very terrible things to me and Agather.
Whatever they did was recorded, and they said they would release the footage once we returned home," said Mwangi.
