The brazen abduction of Mr. Alex Kiprotich, the Standard Group Associate Editor by masked, plain-clothes agents is a severe affront to his constitutional freedoms, a free press, and our democracy.
This rogue conduct by an alleged abduction police unit directly mirrors the systemic lawlessness that the Police Reforms Taskforce I chaired sought to dismantle.
As highlighted in the report I released to the public on 31 August, these illegal killer squads and clandestine units must be dismantled immediately.
The commanders of these illegal operations must be held individually accountable for these crimes.
True liberation demands an #Ukombozi government strictly anchored on the bedrock of constitutionalism #Ukatiba, under my watch.

According to sources, Alex the associate editor of the standard was going to be fed to crocodiles in River Tana. He was to be disappeared without trace!
What helped him was the quick noise Kenyans made and luckily there was someone who documented his abduction.
As Kenyans we must remain vigilant between now and election but most importantly, we must never allow Ruto to get another term as President.
If Ruto gets another term as President, we would have thrown our nation to the dogs and what will happen post 2027 as the demagogue entrenches himself to be Museveni of Kenya will make the abductions and extrajudicial killings we have seen in his first term, look like child play.
If you truly love Kenya and wish it to continue existing, then you must vote out Ruto.
Citizen TV has revealed that a shadowy police unit within the DCI was allegedly involved in the abduction of Standard Group editor Alex Kiprotich.
The unit, known as the Operations Support Unit (OSU), is reported to be operating without the law and targeting government critics.
I condemn in the strongest terms the abduction of Standard Media Group Associate Editor, Alex Kiprotich.
While we are relieved that he has since been released, his abduction remains a grave assault on press freedom, human dignity, the rule of law and every Kenyan’s right to live free from fear.
No journalist should be subjected to abduction, intimidation, or violence for carrying out their lawful work. Such acts have no place in a constitutional democracy.
This calls for a thorough, independent, and transparent investigation to identify those who planned, ordered, facilitated, or executed this heinous act and hold them accountable.
I stand in solidarity with Alex Kiprotich, his family, and the entire media fraternity. His release is welcome but accountability is non-negotiable.
Alex Kiprotich was found dumped in Masinga dam.
The intention was to kill him. He was saved by the video that KTN posted immediately the abduction happened. Muuwaji has no shame and cannot control himself #RutoMustGo

Kenya’s public debt has hit Sh13.3 trillion for the first time ever.
President William Ruto’s administration has so far borrowed Sh4.6 trillion since taking office.
JKIA has ground to an almost complete halt. Tourists are being robbed in the capital city by militia. Govt is unbothered. Wait until 3 people assemble with a Kenyan flag and a placard. The govt will deploy all police units because, 'Hatutaki mharibu nchi.'
Fools in power. 🚮
