Kenya Orders Probe Into Missing Critics.
Kenya's top prosecutor has called for quick answers about people who vanished after speaking against the government.
Renson Ingonga, who leads Kenya's criminal cases, wants police to look into claims that young critics of President William Ruto disappeared. He gave the police three days to report back.
Five people went missing in December alone: Bill Mwangi, Peter Muteti Njeru, Bernard Kavuli, Gideon Kibet, and Ronny Kiplagat. Strange men took them away, and no one knows where they are.
The case has drawn worldwide attention. Many say President Ruto acts like a harsh ruler—even worse than past colonial leaders.
Ingonga stressed that Kenya must protect its people. The law promises everyone safety and life. Both the police and their watchdog group must find out what happened.
The police chief spoke up on December 26. The oversight group made a statement the day before. Both said they would check these claims.
The public feels outraged. Many ask Ruto to stop these actions against his critics. Since he became president in 2022, people say he silences those who disagree with him.
Big names have spoken against these acts. Former leaders, including past Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, joined the outcry. Lawyers, religious leaders, judges, and regular citizens demand answers.
Ingonga promised his office would follow the law. He said they care about justice and what the public wants. They aim to stop any misuse of power.
