The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has invited Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi to record a statement regarding his son's alleged abduction.
In a statement on Sunday, January 12, DCI said the matter is being investigated by DCI Kilimani where the CS's son, Leslie Muturi, has already provided his account.
In the statement, DCI called on Muturi and anyone with information on the incident to provide additional information.
"The alleged case of abduction involving CS Justin Muturi's son is active before DCI Kilimani. Considering that only the son volunteered to record a statement, we wish to invite CS Muturi and any other person with information on the incident to record a statement with DCI Kilimani," read the statement from the DCI.

The statement came hours after Muturi publicly criticized President William Ruto's administration for failing to address a series of abductions.
Speaking to the media, the CS recounted the distress his family endured following his son, Leslie's abduction
Despite his position as Attorney General and member of the National Security Advisory Council at the time, Muturi said he was unable to obtain information about his son's whereabouts or the reasons behind the abduction.
Leslie was eventually released without charges, and no explanations have been provided to date.
"Today, there has been a number of abductions and in some cases unexplained deaths since the Gen Z revolts in June last year. It is unfortunate as most of the people being abducted are our youth leaving the parents and other family members in a state of confusion and loss. I have personally suffered as my son was abducted and disappeared, I was not sure whether he was alive or dead, making us anxious and leaving me, my wife, and my family in turmoil.
"It must be remembered that I was the Attorney General of the Republic of Kenya at the time, yet I was unable to trace my son despite making several requests and demands to all levels of the security apparatus. Now, more than six months after that ordeal and the release of my son, by unknown forces, he has not been charged with any offense and nobody has explained why he was abducted and held incommunicado," the CS said.
