Activist Boniface Mwangi has vowed to stage a procession to State House to compel President William Ruto to take action against the current surge in cases of abduction.
Speaking outside the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi, on Tuesday, September 3, the journalist turned activist accused President Ruto’s administration of failing to secure the release of three Kenyans who were recently abducted by unknown individuals in Kitengela, Kajiado County.
The activist revealed he would be marching to the State House soon during which he would submit a list containing the names of all missing people to the Head of State.
“Our demand is, to release these three men unconditionally and every other person who is missing,” the activist commented.
‘We shall march to the State House to give Ruto a list of missing people because it is a public office," he added.
Boniface Mwangi spoke after securing release from custody in a case where he was accused of orchestrating the violence witnessed during the recent anti-government demonstrations.
Mwangi had been charged alongside four others for allegedly participating in an unlawful assembly and presiding over the publication of false materials.
The five secured their freedom after the court declined a two-week request by the prosecution to finalise the probe on the matter.
Boniface Mwangi's sentiments follow the president's assertions, claiming he was not aware of any cases of abductions during the recent anti-state demonstrations.
Ruto while speaking during a town hall meeting in Kisumu, called on Kenyans whose kin reportedly disappeared without trace during the recent demonstrations to report any such case to the Ministry of Interior for investigations.
“If there is a family, any family whose child or their friend or relative, went to a demonstration, last year or this year and never came back, I want to know the names,” Ruto directed.
"I will take firm and decisive action because as I talk to you today, I don't have a single name of somebody who has been abducted or disappeared.”
