Summary:
- A lighthearted TikTok video by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka adds a twist to the heated debate on abductions.
- Public Service CS Justin Muturi claims his son was abducted by NIS, raising more questions about accountability.
The mystery of abductions in Kenya continues to grip the nation, with fresh claims and bizarre twists adding to the intrigue. What began as a series of unexplained disappearances during the June 2024 Gen Z-led protests has now evolved into a contentious national issue.
On Wednesday, Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka brought a touch of humor to the otherwise grim topic. In a TikTok video, Kalonzo is seen walking his dogs, playfully pretending to track down “abductors.”
“Look there, twende, abductor huyo, abductor huyo!” Kalonzo exclaims, gesturing dramatically while leading one of his five dogs. The clip, complete with police officers and dog handlers trailing behind, quickly went viral, sparking both laughter and deeper conversations about the ongoing abduction crisis.
A Nation Grapples with Disappearances
The video, though lighthearted, underscores the growing public anxiety over the wave of abductions. Law enforcement agencies have repeatedly denied any involvement, leaving Kenyans asking: If not the police, then who?
The situation took a more serious turn on Tuesday when Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi accused the National Intelligence Service (NIS) of abducting his son.
In his statement to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Muturi recounted the harrowing ordeal.
“I tried calling Leslie’s phone, but it was switched off,” Muturi revealed, describing how his attempts to locate his son eventually led him to an unexpected source.
“Between 10 and 11 am, a friend from NIS informed me that my son was being held by their people,” he claimed.
Muturi sought the intervention of President William Ruto, who reportedly made a direct call to the NIS. Shortly afterward, Muturi’s son was released.
A Call for Accountability
Kalonzo Musyoka has been a vocal critic of the abduction crisis, urging government agencies to take responsibility and protect citizens. His TikTok video might be humorous, but it shines a spotlight on the larger issue: the lack of transparency and accountability in addressing these disappearances.
As the debate continues, Kenyans are left to grapple with conflicting narratives and an unsettling sense of uncertainty. Whether through humor or hard facts, one thing is clear—the demand for answers and justice is only growing louder.
