The abductions puzzle has reared its head into President William Ruto's Cabinet with Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi being the latest to launch a scathing attack against the government her serves for failing to stop abductions. Last week, President Ruto's Economic advisor Moses Kuria said the abductions spree was a dangerous precedent being set in the country wondering why "someone within the administration would resort to sorting out issues in a way that is outside the law" to a country that he said prided itself of being as a bastion of democracy. During an interview on Citizen television on Wednesday night Kuria said "I have proclaimed myself privately within government circles.
I have proclaimed myself publicly, in my social media posts, that I think that abductions are not the way to go.
I don't know who is doing the abductions, but let me add a rider here, for me it doesn't matter who is doing," he said Yesterday, Muturi in a candid press statement to media maintained that it was the cardinal duty of the state and the government to protect the lives and livelihood of its citizens.
He said the government of the day can not claim to be unaware of serious breaches of the rights of its citizens to live free from wrongful confinement and the violation of their inalienable right to life. Muturi took issue with the statement by the Inspector General of Police that he did not know where the abductees are. " The government cannot be excused for abdicating its duty of protecting the lives and property of thepeople of Kenya," The Cs said. He added "Kenyans want to know how many of the youth have been taken since the abductions started, how many have been released, how many are still being held and where it is they are being held." While presenting himself as a victim of abductions after his son was kidnapped and held for days, Muturi recounted the harrowing ordeal experienced by parents whose children had been abducted.
