Azimio la Umoja One Kenya leader Raila Odinga has demanded justice for two Indian nationals who mysteriously disappeared from an entertainment joint in Nairobi in July.
In a press briefing on Thursday, November 3, the former Prime Minister said that the duo deserved to live, adding that he hoped they will be found alive.
Raila said that the Indians were not the first ones to disappear, demanding the government investigate the disappearance and deaths of tens of other Kenyans under unclear circumstances.
“We believe the Indians are not the first to disappear, and they will most certainly not be the last if the past is anything to go by. So as Ruto amounts the search for the Indians, whoever and whatever they were to him, we want an equally vigorous search to establish the truth behind the disappearance and deaths of tens of other Kenyans,” Raila said.
