In a dramatic turn of events, Lesley Muturi, the eldest son of Kenya’s Attorney General Justin Muturi, has reportedly been involved in an alarming incident allegedly involving police. According to Embakasi West MP Mark Mwenje, who claims to have witnessed the incident firsthand, Lesley Muturi was purportedly abducted on Saturday under suspicious circumstances.
MP Mark Mwenje, a close friend of Lesley Muturi and a vocal opponent of the contentious Finance Bill 2024, recounted the incident, stating that he was driving behind Lesley when he witnessed the abduction. Mwenje described the perpetrators as individuals dressed in black combat attire, allegedly driving a white Land Cruiser.
“This is a deeply concerning development. The people who took him are cops, and I personally witnessed it,” Mwenje asserted in a statement to the press. The reported abduction has sparked widespread concern and condemnation, particularly within political circles and among human rights advocates.
The Finance Bill 2024 has been a divisive issue in Kenya, with debates intensifying over its economic implications and potential impacts on the population. MP Mark Mwenje’s association with Lesley Muturi and his outspoken stance against the bill has raised speculation about possible motives behind the alleged abduction.
As the situation unfolds, authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding Lesley Muturi’s whereabouts or the circumstances surrounding the incident. Concerned citizens and political figures are calling for transparency and swift action to ensure the safety and well-being of Lesley Muturi, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into the alleged abduction.
The case has drawn attention to broader concerns about security and the rule of law in Kenya, prompting calls for accountability and adherence to constitutional rights. Amidst growing public outcry, the incident involving Lesley Muturi underscores the delicate balance between civic engagement, political dissent, and the protection of individuals’ fundamental rights in Kenya’s evolving political landscape.
