The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has urged the Inspector General of Police and the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) to accelerate their investigations into the recent cases of abduction.
In a formal statement, DPP Renson Ingonga instructed both entities to provide the resulting files for further action within a three-day timeframe, specifically by January 1, 2025.
“I recognize the State’s duty to safeguard and uphold the right to life, as well as the freedom and security of individuals, as enshrined in Articles 26 and 29, among other provisions of the Constitution of Kenya,” stated the DPP.
He voiced his apprehension regarding a series of alleged abductions and enforced disappearances affecting citizens.
The DPP identified several victims, including Bill Mwangi, Peter Muteti Njeru, Bernard Kavuli, and Gideon Kibet, also known as Kibet Bull, along with his brother Ronny Kiplagat.
“The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is dedicated to fulfilling its responsibilities in accordance with the rule of law, while prioritizing public interest, the administration of justice, and the prevention of legal process abuse,” he concluded.
These distressing reports have gained significant attention across various media outlets, reflecting increasing public anxiety, with the most recent incident occurring in South B.
Locals reported that the two men, who reportedly lack a notable online presence, were taken on Saturday night.
