According to LSK, the State’s silence on the abduction cases erodes the public trust to protect its citizens. Regarding this, the LSK have demanded the immediate disclosure of the location of the missing individuals or their unconditional release.
They further demanded the clarification of the missing person from the Inspector General of police or resignation promising to advocate for justice and accountability while seeking support from Kenyans such as the resignation of vehicles used to abduct the government opposers.
