“The absence of their loved ones is a constant reminder of how cruel and unjust this govt is, and it must go!” she added.
Her words follow the recent disappearances of three social media users, Billy Mwangi, Peter Muteti, and Bernard Kavuli, who were kidnapped after publishing AI-generated images critical of President William Ruto online.
While Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome has distanced himself from the abductions, the cases have raised concerns about the revival of forced disappearances.
Kanja underlined that the National Police Service’s primary responsibility is to arrest criminals, not to participate in abductions.
“The National Police Service is gravely concerned about the persistent allegations implicating officers in abductions within Kenya,” Kanja clarified.
“To be clear, the Service’s constitutional mandate is to arrest criminal offenders, not to abduct individuals.”

He further highlighted that no missing persons are being held at any police station across the country and urged the public to stop spreading unconfirmed rumors that could undermine the police’s reputation.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the National Police Service is not involved in any abduction, and there is no police station in the country that is holding the reported abductees,” IG Kanja said.
“While Kenya is a democratic nation that upholds freedom of expression, this freedom comes with limitations and should always be exercised responsibly.”
Kate Actress has joined a growing number of public people and activists who are raising concerns about human rights breaches.
