Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka walks his dogs, January 15, 2025. /KALONZO MUSYOKAThe debate surrounding abductions in the country appears to be taking twists and turns each passing day, sparking a mixture of shock and bewilderment.
Police have denied involvement in the series of abductions which peaked after the June 2024 Gen Z-led protests, leaving citizens wondering who then could be abducting and disappearing Kenyans.
On Wednesday, Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka took things to a whole new level, albeit in jest, when he was out walking his dogs.
In a video he posted on his TikTok account, Kalonzo is seen walking one of five dogs on a road depicting police officers on a hunt for imaginary abductors as handlers of the other four dogs followed close by.
“Look there, twende, abductor huyo, abductor huyo,” he said repeatedly.
Kalonzo has been vocal about condemning abductions in the country and calling out the state agencies tasked with investigating such criminal acts and ensuring the safety of Kenyans.
On Tuesday, Public Service CS Justin Muturi treated the country to a fresh new episode when he, in his statement to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, claimed that his son was abducted by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) on June 22, 2024.
“I tried calling Leslie's phone, but it was switched off,” Muturi said, revealing a sequence of events that eventually led to the startling conclusion hours after his son went missing.
“Between 10 and 11am, a friend from NIS called, informing me that my son was being held by their people,” he claimed.
Muturi said this information would later be corroborated when he sought President William Ruto’s intervention to have his son released.
He said the President placed a call to the NIS and it was confirmed to him that they had Muturi's son who he directed he be released.
"After thanking the President, I drove out of State House and rejoined my friends in Gigiri and explained what had happened. Slightly over an hour later, Leslie called me to say he had been released and was at home. I then went home to see him."
