Ugandan opposition leader and activist, Bobi Wine, has expressed his deep concern following a recent spate of abductions in Kenya.
He compared the abduction style to that of Uganda saying it is very painful watching it.
"Very painful watching Uganda-style abductions happen on Kenyan streets," Bobi Wine said in a message he posted on his X page.
"The authorities there must be getting terrible advice from a bad neighbor," he added.
The Uganda opposition leader stated that Kenya must defend their Constitution before it becomes too weak to defend them.
"As I have told our brothers and sisters in Kenya before, you must defend your Constitution before it becomes too weak to defend you," Bobi Wine said.
Bobi Wine shared a video of former Nandi Hills Member of Parliament Alfred Keter being abducted saying that those are not good signs.
Keter was Sunday reportedly abducted by some unknown men as he left a church event in the Kileleshwa area, Nairobi.
His abduction comes at a time when pressure is mounting on authorities to stop abducting Kenyans opposed to the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Last week, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya leadership handed over a report on 39 missing persons from the anti-Finance Bill 2024 protests to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Ruto while responding to reports of the arrest of Keter said police are justified to go and arrest anyone who upon summon fails to honour it.
He did not, however, confirm if the arrest summons had been issued in relation to the incident.
"If the police summons you, and you refuse to go, are they not entitled to come and look for you?" he posed.
"If they come, how does that amount to abduction?"Ruto was speaking during a media roundtable at State House, Nairobi on Sunday.
He instead referred journalists to the police who he said were better placed to shed light.
"Instead of us having a back-forth, the police have released a statement, can you check what they have released," he said.
