Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has called for the establishment of a commission of inquiry to probe alleged enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in the country.
Muturi said it should no longer be taken as normal that young Kenyans are being killed and no action is being taken to fully address the matter.
The commission which he said should involve people from all sectors
including religious leaders, the Law Society of Kenya, and civil rights groups should examine and inquire into how these incidents have been happening.
“We cannot take it as business as usual. We must address this matter to its finality with a view to getting to the root cause of it,” Muturi told the press at City Mortuary where he had joined the families of the two Mlolongo victims.
He said if left unchecked, such acts could plunge the country into anarchy and chaos even as he reaffirmed that there is no policy in government that supports abductions and killings.
Muturi said it is not right for parents and relatives to be subjected to anguish searching for their loved ones “and we sit somewhere claiming that we are discussing about the economy for this country. Economy for who? If we are killing and abducting the young ones,” he said.
He said he was lucky that his son who had also been abducted was released immediately following after he reached out to the president.
This is the second time Muturi has publicly come out to censure the government in which he is serving over the cases.
The CS, however, was noncommittal when asked about his plan to resign from his office due to his continued attacks against the government.
"That is a side issue. This is a serious matter. It suffices that I have made a point," he said.
