Githunguri Member of Parliament Hon. Gathoni Wamuchomba has criticized the Kenyan police force for its failure to address the alarming surge in child abductions, raising serious concerns about public safety. In a powerful statement, the legislator questioned the competence of the Inspector General of Police (IG) in protecting the nation’s children.
“If the Inspector General of the Kenyan Police doesn’t know who is abducting our children and where they are being taken, could we assume that terrorists are back in our streets?” Wamuchomba asked, reflecting widespread public fear and frustration.
She accused the police of abandoning their mandate to protect citizens, asserting, “The police, through the IG, has FULLY inflicted a SELF-indictment and an express statement of FAILURE to protect Kenyans. Citizens can now defend themselves in any way.”
Her remarks come amid growing reports of kidnappings and disappearances that have left families anguished. The MP urged the government to prioritize resolving the crisis, calling for urgent action to locate the missing children and rebuild trust in Kenya’s security institutions.
The public has rallied behind Wamuchomba’s calls for accountability, with many taking to social media to demand reforms in the police force and improved transparency. The incident has also reignited debate on national security, with critics calling for an overhaul of law enforcement systems to better protect vulnerable groups.
Wamuchomba’s plea remains a stark reminder of the crisis: “Where are our children, and who will bring them home?”
