• Through a press release on January 12, 2025, DCI reassured the public that the cases have been successfully investigated and are now pending before court.

Following a statement by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), in response to the state of abductions in the country raised by the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management Justin Muturi, Kenyans are expressing dissatisfaction and concerns, highlighting that the abductors should face the law.

Through a press release on January 12, 2025, DCI reassured the public that the cases have been successfully investigated and are now pending before court.

“The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) takes note of today’s sentiments by the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management Justin Muturi, who has expressed a sense of despair on the outcome of investigations on abductions,” the DCI said in part on January 12, 2025.

However, Kenyans on X are urging the government to take the necessary action insisting that the issue should be taken seriously:

You need to speed up handling of such cases. Why should such a case take you six months before you issue even a press notice? If Muturi wouldn't have ranted in public you wouldn't have issued this notice! Aspire to do better.


@BrianMtetezi

Not convincing!


@f1liveke

Thanks for the response on this. We hope these abductors are brought to book.


@SamuelWangatia

A whole Cabinet Secretary - Ministry of Public Service and Human Capital Development. If you are not secure together with your family, how about us poor Kenyans? The damage is soo done....We need to get back to the drawing board as Kenyans.


@amosngongo

Good evening @DCI_Kenya , I'm sure you are aware that the so-called " Abductors" have been carrying out their business in Broad daylight using unmarked, OR unregistered vehicles. Please liaise with the KRA-Customs/ Border Control Department & NTSA to help you identify the suspect.

According to the DCI, the alleged case of abductions involving CS Muturi’s son is active before DCI Kilimani.

“Considering that only the son volunteered to record a statement, we wish to invite CS Muturi and any other person with information on the incident to record a statement with DCI Kilimani,” the DCI added.

DCI says it has so far opened several inquiry files that are at various stages of investigations, and the same will soon be forwarded to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) upon conclusion of investigations.

Speaking to the press on January 12, 2025, Muturi detailed his personal ordeal following the abduction of his son, Leslie Muturi, in June 2024, saying that the government has remained silent on the matter.
