Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has requested a special sitting in the National Assembly to tackle the current issue of abduction in kenya.
The MP wrote a letter addressing the Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetangula on Sunday, December 29.
Babu Owino noted that the public was unsettled since the whereabouts of some of the individuals remained unknown to date.
According to the MP all the individuals who went missing had one thing in common – they openly criticised the Kenya Kwanza Government at some point.
“There is growing public anxiety over the role of state agencies in these abductions, particularly the involvement of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), the Inspector General of Police, and the role of telecommunications companies. In light of these disturbing developments, I request that the National Assembly urgently convene a special sitting before the scheduled vetting of Cabinet nominees.”
Babu Owino believes the sitting will offer a platform to bring several key stakeholders in national security to book.
He went on to note that the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, Director of Criminal Investigations Amin Ibrahim and the new Cabinet Secretary for Interior Mr Onesmus Murkomen needed to answer pressing questions regarding the state of security in the country.
However, Last week IG Kanja openly distanced the country’s security agencies from any wrong-doing in the alleged abductions – sentiments which thoroughly angered Babu Owino, who called for the IG’s resignation.
CS Murkomen also denied any police involvement in the abductions, stating that anyone arrested by the police ought to be taken to court within 24 hours.
