The United Kingdom has recently urged President William Ruto’s administration to conduct swift and transparent investigations into the recent disappearances of youthful Kenyans.
In a statement on Thursday, British High Commissioner to Kenya Neil Wigan noted that Kenya’s decision to address these abductions would demonstrate the country’s commitment to upholding fundamental rights.
According to him, it would also boost the country’s position on the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) which Kenya leads.
“We welcome the release of 5 Kenyans on 6 January, following their disappearance. Swift and transparent investigations into reported abductions will demonstrate Kenya’s commitment to fundamental rights,” Neil Wigan commented.
The message comes barely three days after about five Kenyans who were reportedly abducted in December last year were found alive in different locations.
Moreover, Wigan’s call for investigations comes just a day after the High Court in Nairobi summoned the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss Mohamed Amin to appear before it on January 27.
