Sunday, December 29, 2024 - President William Ruto’s Senior Economic Advisor, Moses Kuria, has taken a unique stance regarding the ongoing abductions of Kenyans by people perceived to be security agents,
This is after he urged Kenyans to sign a two-in-one
petition.
On one hand, Kuria wanted the petition to put an end to unlawful abductions.
However, Kuria also wanted action to be taken on
the responsible use of freedoms, particularly on social media.
"More than ever before, it is time the
civil society to lead a two-in-one public petition for putting a stop to
unlawful abductions and responsible use of freedoms," he said.
Kuria further revealed that he targeted 10
million signatures but urged Kenyans to be objective in the two-in-one
petition.
The former lawmaker's statement came just days
after police, through Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, denied any
involvement in the alleged abductions of some influential social media figures
in recent weeks.
According to the IG, arrests by police are
typically recorded in the Occurrence Book for subsequent arraignment in a court
of law and If this does not happen, the suspects are expected to be released
from police custody.
Kuria's request to Kenyans to be multi-sided
in the petition could have been prompted by a recent disturbing trend that has
seen several AI-generated images of President William Ruto in precarious
situations.
What followed after the images went viral was
allegations of the abductions of some of the influential social media users, particularly
on X, with videos and family testimonies backing the claims.
