Muturi lauded the efforts of the DCI and expressed confidence in their dedication to uncovering the truth, further appealing to the public to trust the process and work collectively to foster a safer society for all.
“I want to express my confidence in our investigative agencies and their unwavering pursuit of the truth in this case. Let us continue to trust in the process and work together to build a society where every Kenyan feels safe and secure,” he added.
This comes a day after DCI invited Muturi to record a statement regarding his son's abduction that occured last year.
In a statement on Sunday, January 12, DCI said the matter is being investigated by DCI Kilimani where the CS's son 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.
Muturi had publicly criticized President William Ruto's administration for failing to address a series of abductions, recounting the distress his family endured following his son's abduction.
"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 in part.
