Ex-Judge Blasts Kenya for Missing Youth.

Kenya's past top judge speaks up as young folks vanish. David Maraga says the state must stop these crimes.

"Many homes hurt this year," Maraga said. "Bad men grab our young ones. They kill them. They hurt them. This breaks our laws."

The pain runs deep. Cops take young people who slam the state online. Others fade away after street fights against the leaders' rules.

Young crowds marched this year. They said life costs more than they can pay, and they want honest chiefs. But the state pushed back hard.

Maraga praised the brave folks who stood up. "Our land needs kind hearts in power," he said. "Mean tricks must end."

The state feels the heat. Both friends and foes tell President William Ruto to fix this mess. Old leaders like Raila Odinga want answers about the lost youth.

Police chiefs say they did nothing wrong, but lawyers want them to prove it. They say the police boss should quit if he can't catch the bad guys.

Ruto made big claims. He said he'd stop the grabs. He asked young folks to stay calm. But people don't trust his words. Food prices rise. Jobs stay rare.

Maraga wants change next year. He asks the state to apologize for the pain it caused. "Let's make 2025 clean," he says. "Let's stick to fair laws."

The old judge dreams of better days. He wants peace for all in Kenya. But first, he says, the truth must come out about the lost young ones.
