Tuesday, December 31, 2024 – Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga seems to be losing faith in President William Ruto and his government.
This is after he called out the
Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, demanding his immediate
resignation for failing to deal with the increasing cases of abductions in the
country.
According to Raila, the
disturbing trend has already sparked public protests, especially among the
younger generation, who have lost faith in the government, especially the IG, and
therefore want him to resign or be fired.
He further revealed that the
manner in which the abductions were executed - the use of fake vehicle number
plates and handcuffs – was so distinctive, implying it was the work of the
security agencies.
According to Raila, some of
the functions of the National Police Service (NPS) include investigations into
such serious, and detecting and preventing crimes and for the IG to claim that
he was not aware was either due to him not being true to himself or out of touch with
reality.
He said handcuffs were mainly
used by security agencies and demanded to know where the abductors were getting
them from to intimidate Kenyans and to hold them incommunicado.
“The abductions are denting the good image of the police service. The abductors use handcuffs; where do they get them from?
"And IGP is telling us he is not aware of such
actions. Is he true to himself or out of touch with reality?” Raila
posed.
