President Ruto has failed to end extra-judicial killings, abductions

The torture and death of Albert Ojwang’ in police custody has rekindled public debate about lofty pledges by the Kenya Kwanza administration that campaigned partly on a platform of ending rights violations by the state, such as extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances. The administration has since coming to power in 2022 failed to arrest the situation, with human rights bodies expressing concern at the unabated violations and calling for an end.
