Migori Senator Eddy Oketch has urged President William Ruto to crack the whip on leaders who make his administration look bad.
Speaking during a live TV interview on Thursday, July 3, 2025, Oketch indicated that Ruto should do away with state officers who are unable to take charge of their ministries.
“I wish sometimes the president had courage to deal with state officers who make him look very bad. The president cannot do everything in the country; that is why he is given powers to appoint cabinet secretaries, who then appoint other officers to perform duties,” Oketch stated.
Vacate office
“Why is the president not comfortable with doing away with some of these characters? The president swore with the sword in Kasarani Stadium to protect life and property. If you are failing in your role as the DCI to produce a person, then you have failed and you should vacate office,” he observed.
The remarks stem from an admission by the Director of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Amin Mohammed, that he could not establish the whereabouts of blogger Ndiangui Kinyagia.
Kinyagia has since been located, and a statement by his family lawyer, Wahome Thuku, on Thursday, July 3, 2025, confirmed that he was alive and healthy.
“On behalf of the family of Ndiangui Kinyagia, I wish to inform the Kenyan public as follows:
“That Ndiangui, who went missing last week, has contacted the family and that he is well, healthy and safe.
Found safe
“Ndiangui contacted a family member on Tuesday evening from an undisclosed location. He indicated to the family member that he had hidden temporarily for fear of his life upon learning that DCI officers were looking for him over unknown criminal allegations,” Thuku said.
According to eyewitness accounts shared by LSK, Kinyagia’s home was raided in broad daylight by a group of six to ten men driving Subaru vehicles.
The intruders forcibly broke into the residence and seized several items, including laptops, passports, and other electronic devices. Since the incident, the advocate’s whereabouts remain unknown.
