Former justice Maraga is claiming  the President spoke well about the abducted victims getting home yet their family are still searching their relatives  It is unconscionable to hear the President claim, without any apology to the victims, parents, and families, that there are no ongoing incidents of enforced disappearances and extra-judicial killings and that accountability mechanisms are in effect.

Her name is Ann Akinyi Onyango, a 29-year-old single mother of one. When I visited her home, I found her sitting silently on a thin mattress, her eyes sunken with pain, her spirit heavy with sorrow. The room was still, the kind of silence that speaks louder than words—a silence born of hopelessness. Ann’s ordeal began in April last year, when she discovered a lump in her breast. At first, she ignored it, hoping it would go away. But as the swelling grew more painful and visible, she made her way to St. Irenaeus Medical Services in Nairobi. After a cytology test, the doctors feared the worst: suspicious for malignancy. They recommended further diagnostic tests—needle core bi...
