President William Ruto has pledged decisive action against police abductions and the alleged maltreatment of suspects arrested during anti-government demonstrations. In a recent address, President Ruto expressed deep concern over reports of human rights abuses and called for an immediate investigation into these incidents.
“I am deeply troubled by the reports of police abductions and the mistreatment of suspects arrested during recent anti-government protests. Such actions are unacceptable and undermine the principles of justice and human rights,” President Ruto stated.
He urged families with missing members to come forward and provide information that could assist in the investigation and resolution of these cases. “To the families affected, I urge you to reach out to the authorities. We are committed to ensuring that those responsible for these acts are held accountable,” he emphasized.
President Ruto’s statement underscores his administration’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of all citizens. He vowed to work closely with law enforcement agencies and human rights organizations to address these serious allegations and prevent future occurrences.
The President’s call for action comes amid growing public outcry and international concern over the handling of protests and the treatment of detainees in Kenya. His pledge to investigate and address these issues marks a significant step toward restoring confidence in the government’s commitment to justice and human rights.
