In a revelation that has stunned the nation and the world, Kalonzo Musyoka, the leader of the opposition, has boldly accused President William Samoei Ruto of being the mastermind behind Kenya’s notorious abduction squads. This shocking claim was made during a press conference on January 12, 2025, where Kalonzo delivered a blistering attack on the president, unveiling the ugly truth about Ruto’s role in orchestrating a criminal enterprise that has terrorized the country.
The story broke when Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi, in a rare admission, revealed that his own son had fallen victim to the abduction ring under Ruto’s alleged command. Despite being in one of the highest offices in the land, Muturi, who served as the Attorney General when his son, Leslie Muturi, was kidnapped in June 2024, found himself helpless in the face of government obstruction and cover-up. The terrifying realization: even the highest-ranking officials in Kenya’s government had no power to stop the abductions—and that President Ruto himself was at the center of it all.
In an emotional statement, Muturi declared: “The man behind these abductions is none other than William Samoei Ruto, the Commander-in-Chief of the Abduction Squads.” The chilling accusation has rocked the nation to its core, sparking widespread disbelief and outrage. Kalonzo has seized on this moment to accuse Ruto of using state apparatus not for the good of the people, but to maintain an iron grip on power through terror.
As the opposition leader pointed out, if a senior official like Muturi could not secure his son’s release or hold anyone accountable, what hope is there for ordinary Kenyans who fall victim to this monstrous system? Kalonzo’s indictment of the president has struck a nerve, with citizens across the country demanding answers. Under Ruto’s regime, the Kenyan government is allegedly complicit in a systematic campaign of abductions, torture, and human rights abuses.
In the face of mounting evidence, Kalonzo has vowed to take down the government’s sinister forces, vowing to restore Kenya’s democratic principles. “This is not just an attack on the law; this is an attack on the very soul of our nation,” Kalonzo stated. He went on to condemn Ruto’s government for turning Kenya’s security forces into a weapon of oppression, while ordinary citizens are left to suffer under a regime that seems beyond the reach of justice.
The opposition has made clear its intention to resist any further abuses of power. They are demanding immediate reform, the release of all remaining abductees, and the restoration of the rule of law. Kalonzo’s voice has become a rallying cry for those seeking to end Ruto’s supposed reign of terror.
But this isn’t just about human rights—it’s about the future of Kenyan democracy. The opposition has also turned its attention to the government’s attempts to manipulate the electoral process ahead of the 2027 general elections. Accusations of a plot to rig the vote through the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) have sent shockwaves through political circles, with Kalonzo leading the charge to safeguard Kenya’s democratic integrity. A court ruling on January 21, 2025, will reveal more about this brewing storm.
In a symbolic move of defiance, the opposition has expelled Farah Maalim from the Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) party. This decision underscores Kalonzo’s commitment to holding all leaders accountable for betraying the Kenyan people.
As the world watches, the stakes have never been higher. Will President Ruto respond to the growing calls for accountability? Or is Kenya on the brink of plunging into a dark era of unchecked authoritarian rule? The clock is ticking, and the nation demands justice.
