The legislator further added that the safety of leaders and, by extension, the citizens remains of paramount importance.
“The DCI must leave no stone unturned in their quest to trace the MCA and apprehend the perpetrators behind the despicable act.” Added Keynan.
President William Ruto had several retreated that under his watch no cases of abductions and extra-judicial killings will happen.
The president made this remarks last month when He was responding to questions during a town hall meeting in Kisumu where he said anyone with a missing relative believed to have been abducted during the recent anti-government protests should present the name of the victim for investigations.
“Under my administration, I do not want a situation where a Kenyan disappears. There were days when people were found – 20, 30 – in River Yala, executed. I want to promise the people of Kenya that under my administration there will be no Kenyans in River Yala or any other river or place,” Ruto said.
