Kenyan Minister Accuses Intelligence Service of Abduction

Kenyan Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has accused the National Intelligence Service (NIS) of orchestrating the abduction of his son, Leslie, igniting a national debate about government abductions. Muturi claims that after failing to receive assistance from senior security officials, it was only President William Ruto's intervention that led to his son's release. This accusation comes amid a reported wave of abductions affecting over 80 individuals in the country, particularly following protests against tax hikes last year. While some political figures praise Muturi for his bravery, others, including government allies, demand his resignation for criticizing the administration he serves. Legal experts and governance analysts argue Muturi's statements reflect widespread public frustration over unresolved abductions. The situation raises serious questions about accountability within Kenyan security agencies and the safety of citizens.
