Following the highly publicized and controversial abduction of Juja MP George Koimburi, concerns continue to mount over the authenticity and motive behind the incident. In a strongly-worded statement, Eldoret-based human rights activist Kipkorir Ngetich has called upon the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to launch a comprehensive and impartial probe into the matter.
Ngetich questioned the circumstances surrounding the alleged abduction, terming it “highly suspicious” and suggesting it may have been a staged occurrence. “There are glaring inconsistencies in this case. How can an MP be abducted in broad daylight, in a church setting, with no outcry or visible injuries? This raises serious questions,” he said.
The activist pointed to senior political leaders — including former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Nyandarua Senator John Methu, Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, and UDA Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala — demanding that they be investigated over their conduct and recent political activities.
“These leaders have been engaging in politically chaotic behavior, and there are indicators that some of their actions may be stage-managed to stir public emotion and discredit the government,” Ngetich alleged.
He further warned of an emerging pattern of incitement and tribal tension being propagated by certain political figures. “The history of Mr. Gachagua and Governor Natembeya as former provincial administrators during the KANU regime cannot be ignored. They must be held accountable and scrutinized under current democratic and legal standards,” he stated.
Ngetich also raised alarms over alleged attempts to compile lists of security personnel from specific ethnic backgrounds, warning that such actions are aimed at igniting tribal tensions and mistrust within the security forces.
“The government must act decisively and lawfully. Kenya is bigger than any one individual or political interest. No one should be allowed to destabilize the nation in the guise of exercising democratic rights,” Ngetich said.
He urged President William Ruto's administration to engage international bodies such as the United Nations in investigating foreign funding networks allegedly supporting groups aimed at causing civil unrest in the country.
“Democracy must not be used as a shield for criminal acts. We call on all peace-loving Kenyans to shun leaders who are inciting violence, spreading tribal hatred, and undermining national unity,” Ngetich concluded.
As investigations continue, the country watches closely for clarity and transparency from the authorities, with citizens demanding truth and justice in equal measure.
