The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has lodged a formal report to the Director of criminal investigation, requesting an investigation into the recent series of abductions.
While pointing an accusing finger at some police officers, the society's president Faith Odhiambo noted that such tactics are unconstitutional.
The abductions, she said, targeted youth who recently participated in the anti-finance bill protests.
"We emphasise our concerns over the draconian, unconstitutional tactics being deployed against Kenyan youth for exercising their democratic rights," Odhiambo said.
Odhiambo who spoke after leading a team of LSK officials to the DCI headquarters said they were concerned about inaction by the Directorate over it.
They were accompanied by MPs Otiende Amollo (Rarieda), Mark Mwenje (Embakasi West), Amos Mwago (Starehe), Catherine Omanyo (Busia), Wanami Wamboka (Bumula), and nominated senator Catherine Mumma.
During their meeting with DCI deputy director John Onyango, the Odhiambo said they presented a list of those abducted and yet to be released.
The list, Odhiambo said, is based on information submitted to the body.
She also used the opportunity to urge the public to report any new cases as she vowed to ensure the matter is fully addressed.
"We intend to follow up on all outstanding cases and we urge public to raise alarm and bring to our attention any new cases of abductions that may arise," she stated.
Early this week, the High Court issued an order directing the DPP, AG, DCI and NIS to immediately and unconditionally release all social media users allegedly abducted after expressing their dissatisfaction with the unpopular Finance Bill, 2024
Justice Chacha Mwita at the same time restrained the state from abducting vocal social media and political activist Gabriel Oguda and 12 others once released.
Oguda has since confirmed his release.
The other 12 are listed as Osama Otero who has been holding popular X Spaces opposing the Bill.
