Public Service CS Justin Muturi has challenged President William Ruto to put an end to the abductions and alleged extrajudicial killings.
Speaking at City Mortuary on Friday, January 31, the CS opined that it was time for the country to take a pause and discuss the recent abductions and subsequent deaths of young people.
According to the CS, it was unfortunate that Kenya was among those countries pushing for peace in DRC yet some youth in Kenya had lost their lives under mysterious circumstances.
"This is a very serious matter and it should actually take the anger of this country because why are we allowing young men and girls to be kidnapped? Only later to be found killed," he lamented.
"Surely, what kind of country are we? And we are pretending to be solving issues in DRC. The number of people who have died is so many and it should prick the conscience of any right thing leader in this country."

On the other hand, he pushed for the police to be accountable for the recent abductions adding that it was wrong for them to state that they did not know what was going on.
Citing the abduction of his son, Muturi wondered what many parents who do not have access to the President would do.
"I was lucky that when my son was abducted I was able to reach the President and he immediately ordered Noordin Haji to release him, how about these parents who cannot reach the President? We cannot be told that the police do not know," he added.
Meanwhile, when asked whether he would resign, he stated that the abductions were a bigger issue that should not matter whether someone is in government or not.
Muturi made the remarks following the discovery of the bodies of Justus Mutumwa and Martin Mwau who were among the men who went missing in Mlolongo in December 2024.
