Murkomen told the National Assembly that the Kenya Kwanza administration had done more to rein in abductions than previous governments, insisting that reported cases were investigated, including incidents that later turned out to be self-abductions.

The Interior CS cited the establishment of a dedicated investigations unit as part of the Government’s efforts to address the incidents.

“It is this Government that has established a dedicated Anti-Abduction Investigations Unit to handle cases of abductions and kidnappings,” he said.

The CS said the administration had committed itself to ending extrajudicial killings and abductions, arguing that the security situation should be assessed using facts and a balanced account of the challenges facing the country.
