Vocal Africa has come out swinging against President William Ruto’s bold claim that all abducted and disappeared Kenyans have safely returned home. The human rights lobby says the President’s remarks are flat-out false and a painful slap in the face to families still desperately searching for their loved ones.
Speaking during a tense press briefing at State House Nairobi, Vocal Africa CEO Hussein Khalid did not mince words. “The President’s statement is not only misleading — it’s dangerously dismissive of the pain and fear gripping countless families. People are still missing. Period.”
Vocal Africa, a frontline advocate during the explosive Gen Z-led protests that erupted in June 2024, says they have hard evidence that contradicts Ruto’s reassurances — including eyewitness testimonies, field investigations, and verified community reports.
Among the still-missing are Emmanuel Mukuria, last seen in Githurai on June 25, 2024, and Dennis Chege and Peter Macharia, who vanished the same day in Nairobi’s CBD. The group also flagged chilling cases from December 17, including Martin Mbisi and Kalani Muema, both abducted in Mlolongo.
“These are not rumors. These are real people — sons, brothers, friends — who disappeared during a crackdown on young protestors,” Vocal Africa stated. “To act like everything is fine is not only insulting — it’s dangerous.”
The organization is now daring President Ruto to meet the families of the missing face-to-face and hear their stories himself.
“The road to justice begins with truth. Denial only deepens the wounds.”
This is no longer just a human rights issue — it’s a national emergency.
