The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and six other petitioners have filed a petition asking the court to summon politicians who have publicly commented on the recent spate of abductions.

This is according to a statement by human rights activist Hussein Khalid, who on Wednesday shared a copy of the revised petition while attending a court session where Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja was summoned to appear.

The list includes prominent politicians such as National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi, and COTU Secretary-General Francis Atwoli, who have been named among the individuals they wish to cross-examine regarding the ongoing abductions.

Others named in the list include Kibwezi East MP Mwengi Mutuse, National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohammed, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, and Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa.
