Abraham Kithure Kindiki, a Kenyan politician and lawyer currently serving as the third Deputy President of Kenya, has made an intense pledge to tackle the surge in abductions and femicides that have gripped the country.
He has promised to collaborate closely with his successor in the Interior Ministry. Speaking passionately to a crowd in Taita Taveta County, Kindiki vowed to bring the āunknown peopleā behind enforced disappearances to justice.
However, reactions to his announcement have been fierce, with some questioning the sincerity of his commitment.
Prominent lawyer Nelson Havi took to X, calling out Kindikiās words and suggesting that his rhetoric might be ānonsense,ā perhaps even intended to insult Kenyans’ intelligence.
āDoes he himself even believe this nonsense?ā Havi wrote, reflecting the distrust in Kindikiās ability to bring about real change after violence allegedly soared under his previous tenure.
While some supporters hailed Kindiki as an āinspiration,ā others saw the move as mere ājustification for past violence.ā One commentator accused the government of āagitating through ignorant utterancesā to provoke unrest, then abducting protesters.
As Kenyans hold their breath, all eyes remain on Kindikiās next steps in this crucial battle for safety and justice.
