He emphasized that under his administration, he aims to prevent such occurrences. He urged affected families to report missing persons to the government for necessary action.
Ruto’s statements were made during a Town Hall session in Kisumu. He challenged families to offer names of missing relatives for intervention.

The President’s call for families to report missing persons reflects efforts to guarantee the safety and rights of Kenyan citizens.

He also aims to tackle the issue of disappearances effectively. The government’s response to these cases will be crucial in restoring trust and ensuring accountability in handling such sensitive matters.
