The Majority leader of the National Assembly, Kimani Ichung’wah, has termed the claims from the Public Service CS Justin Muturi that the National Intelligence Service is abducting his son, Leslie Muturi, as politically motivated.
In a recent interview with Al Jazeera, Ichung’wah noted that CS Muturi has a beef with his boss, President Ruto, which he believed could be behind the abduction claims.
MP Ichung’wah went on to note that the CS who is also a former Attorney General is playing politics with a very unfortunate incident.

According to Ichung’wah, CS Muturi definitely knows he is on his way out of office thus disclosing there are plans to kick the CS out.
“Justin Muturi knows he’s probably on his way out. He definitely knows it,”Ichung’wah said.
Talking of other abductions happening in Kenya, Ichung’wah told the host, Mehdi Hasan, that the allegations that the police kidnapped and forcibly disappeared protesters in recent large-scale demonstrations were a conspiracy.
“I do not believe there are enforced disappearances perpetuated by the state in Kenya,” Ichung’wah said.
On January 14, Muturi accused the NIS of abducting his son, Leslie, during the anti-government protests in June 2024.
Recording a statement at Kilimani Police Station, Muturi detailed the events surrounding his son’s abduction on June 22, 2024, and how President Ruto’s intervention led to Leslie’s release.
