Wiper Democratic Movement leader Kalonzo Musyoka has demanded investigations into the disappearance of Nairobi lawyer Abshir Abdi, who was found alive in Sololo, Marsabit County, 11 days after he went missing.
Kalonzo welcomed Abdi’s recovery but insisted that authorities must establish who abducted him, where he was held and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
In a statement, the former Vice President questioned the conduct of security agencies, demanding accountability over cases of alleged abductions and enforced disappearances in the country.
He called on the Inspector General of Police, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ministry of Interior to investigate the incident, identify those responsible and ensure they are brought to justice.
Kalonzo also linked the incident to broader security concerns, citing the killing of eight Kenyans, including two police reservists, by suspected Al-Shabaab militants in Mandera on Tuesday.
He questioned the country’s security priorities, arguing that security agencies should be protecting citizens from threats rather than facing accusations of involvement in unlawful disappearances.
The Wiper leader further challenged the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and members of the legal profession to continue demanding accountability through constitutional and legal channels.
Kalonzo pledged that a change in government in 270 days would mark an end to what he described as the normalisation of abductions and enforced disappearances.
He said his vision was to restore constitutionalism and guarantee the protection of life, liberty and human dignity as fundamental rights for all Kenyans.
