In recent weeks, we have witnessed an alarming increase in abductions and forced disappearances targeting young people who use digital platforms to exercise their civic duty and express their dissatisfaction with the management of the affairs of this nation.
These abductions are deliberate yet desperate attempts by the government to suppress dissent, discourage civic engagement, and instill and entrench a sense of fear in the country to escape public scrutiny and accountability.
Indeed, these young Kenyans are not criminals. They are simply agitating for a country that reflects their aspirations, where the rule of law prevails, public institutions prioritize the common good, quality social services are accessible, and the economy creates opportunities for growth and prosperity for all.
What the young people are opposed to is the government attempting to impose what they imagine is good for them while excluding them from decisions that profoundly affect their lives. As such, it is incumbent on the government to understand that it cannot silence dissent with abductions but by simply making the system work for the people.
Therefore, this deeply disturbing trend cannot continue unchecked as distressed families agonize about the whereabouts of their loved ones. We condemn these acts and call on the government to produce these individuals before a court of competent jurisdiction if they are deemed to have committed any crime under the law.
The freedom of speech, assembly, and association are enshrined in our constitution. They cannot be curtailed based on the whims of individuals at the helm of power.

Our thoughts are with the family and all those who knew him at this sad time.
Rest In Peace Mheshimiwa.
