CHADEMA appeals to Ruto for over Tanzanian activist reported missing in Kenya

Tanzania’s opposition party Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA) has appealed to President William Ruto to intervene in the reported abduction of its member and activist Twaha Mwaipaya in Machakos County, Kenya, and ensure he is found safe and returned alive.

Mwaipaya was reportedly seized at around 2:00 pm on Sunday while travelling in a taxi to visit friends.

Amnesty International Kenya and the Defenders Coalition said the individuals involved were travelling in three vehicles, including a Toyota Land Cruiser hardtop, although the identities of those responsible and Mwaipaya’s current location remained unknown as of Sunday evening.

CHADEMA condemned the incident and called on President Ruto to intervene and ensure urgent steps are taken to trace Mwaipaya and secure his safe return alive.

“We call upon the President of the Republic of Kenya, William Ruto, in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, to intervene in this matter and ensure urgent action is taken to trace and locate Twaha Mwaipaya and secure his safe return alive, following his reported abduction on Kenyan soil,” the party said.
