Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has taken legal action, urging the High Court to compel the police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to account for seven youths who were reportedly abducted in December. Through his lawyer, Philip Langat, Omtatah has filed a suit against the Inspector General of Police, the DCI, and the Director of Public Prosecutions, demanding that the authorities produce the youths, either dead or alive.
The youths—Gideon Kibet, Ronny Kiplagat, Steve Kavingo Mbisi, Billy Mwangi, Peter Muteti, Bernard Kavuli, and Kelvin Muthoni—were allegedly taken into custody by security officers. Omtatah is seeking an order for their immediate release if they are still alive. Alternatively, he demands that the authorities explain why the youths should not be granted bond or bail.
The case was filed on December 30, 2024, at the Kibera High Court.
