Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has accused police of turning into agents of terror by abducting citizens under the guise of law enforcement.
Muturi, who also served as Attorney General, argued the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has replaced due process with fear by sending masked or plainclothes officers in unmarked vehicles to seize individuals at night without identifying themselves. "We are witnessing the devolution of policing into tyranny," noted Muturi.
The Constitution under Article 49 requires that arrested persons are informed promptly, allowed to communicate with an advocate and brought to court within twenty-four hours.
Muturi observed these protections are being ignored by security agencies. "These are not arrests, they are abductions," explained Muturi.
