Kanu national chairman Gideon Moi has voiced his deep concern regarding the alarming rise in abductions and murders across the country.
In a statement shared on X, Gideon urged for urgent government action to address these pressing issues.
“The government must intensify its efforts to ensure the safety and security of every Kenyan,” he stated.
Gideon highlighted the troubling increase in femicide and violent crimes that have fostered a pervasive sense of fear and insecurity among citizens.
“It is unacceptable for anyone to live in fear, and every Kenyan should feel safe while going about their daily activities,” he asserted.
He described the current climate as one marked by a shocking and heartbreaking rise in violent killings.
“The surge in femicide and grisly murders, compounded by the now-frequent abductions, threatens our collective sense of security as a nation,” Gideon continued.
He called for a renewed emphasis on enhancing public safety and strengthening law enforcement efforts.
“Every Kenyan has the right to live free from fear, and the government must safeguard this right without compromise.
I extend my condolences to the grieving families; may they find solace during these trying times.”
Gideon’s remarks come in light of a recent spike in violent incidents that have left many unsettled.
Other political leaders have also demanded justice for the families affected by these tragedies.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna condemned the horrific murders of three women from Eastleigh, emphasizing the growing atmosphere of insecurity.
“With the recent surge in abductions and killings, it’s hard to believe anyone feels safe in our country at this moment.
No one is secure until we are all secure,” Sifuna remarked.
“In response to the brutal murders of three women from Eastleigh, I met with Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja at his Jogoo House office, alongside Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan, to express our concerns about the rising tide of violence across Kenya.
The police must step up their efforts to ensure the safety of all citizens. Until everyone’s safety is assured, no one can truly feel safe,” he added.
