Religious leaders have called for the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, and the Director of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Amin Mohammed, to resign immediately over the abduction of six young people two weeks ago.
The leaders, speaking at a press conference on Sunday, faulted security agencies for their silence over abductions that have left the country reeling in fear and suspense as the fate of some of the abductees remains unknown.
Led by the Catholic Archbishop, the church leaders warned the IG of the police and the DCI boss to step up their measures and produce the abducted young people, or they should resign immediately. The six include Bernard Kavuli, Gideon Kibet (alias Kibet Bull), Rony Kiplang’at, Steve Mbisi, Billy Mwangi, and Peter Muteti.
“The government should ensure that the family of every Kenyan is protected so that we can have peaceful lives in our society,” Catholic Archbishop Phillip Anyolo reasoned.
The men of the cloth also condemned the abductions, terming them as backward and a violation of fundamental human rights as enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya.
“As a church, we are appealing for the government to produce the young people because the government has the tools to research. And if there is a crime from any corner involving any Kenyan, the government ought to provide dignity and all means possible to secure that life,” Bishop Alfred Rotich stated.
