Muturi moreover criticised security agencies, accusing them of failing to protect Kenyans despite having the capacity to do so.
“I want to say we cannot be told the police do not know. Our police are known to be very efficient in these matters. If they wanted to, they would crack this case.”
Muturi also called on human rights groups, including the Kenya Human Rights Commission, to apply more pressure on the government and the President.
Talking about the fear of losing his position in the public service docket, Muturi dismissed suggestions that he could lose his job, instead choosing to focus on the abduction issue.
“The issue of my resignation or not… It suffices that I sit in government, and I am calling on the government, whose head is the President, that this matter of abductions must be discussed,” he said.
Muturi further commented on the recent cases of two individuals who met a tragic end after going missing in Mlolongo.
Two families of three boys who went missing were dealt a blow on Thursday after being informed that their kin’s bodies had been found at the Nairobi Funeral Home, formerly City Mortuary.
