President William Ruto has assured Kenyans that the recent wave of abductions reported in various parts of the country will not happen again. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to upholding the rule of law, protecting human rights, and ensuring that such incidents are not part of Kenya’s future.

Speaking to the public, Ruto emphasized that all individuals who had been abducted were safely returned to their families. He expressed concern over the incidents and stated that the government would not tolerate any form of unlawful arrests, forced disappearances, or human rights abuses.

“It was my commitment when I became president that extrajudicial disappearances would not be part of what we are doing as a nation,” he said.

President Ruto reminded Kenyans of the pledge he made during his swearing-in in 2022, where he promised to end extrajudicial killings and unlawful detentions that had plagued previous administrations.

His remarks come amid rising public concern and media reports highlighting the mysterious abductions of activists, political figures, and ordinary citizens. The President’s assurance is seen as a response to both national and international pressure to address these issues and restore public confidence in state institutions.

The government is expected to take immediate steps to ensure accountability, including investigations into the recent abductions and reforms within security agencies. Kenyans are now watching closely to see if these promises will translate into meaningful action that ends the culture of impunity and safeguards every citizen’s right to freedom and safety.
