Cartoonist Kibet Bull, whose real name is Gideon Kibet, is the latest Kenya Kwanza government critic to be reported missing.
According to Kibet’s family, his brother Rony Kiplangat has also been missing since Saturday, December 21. The cartoonist is a student at Egerton University in Nakuru and is well known for sharing silhouette images with characters of President Ruto’s likeness. He has also shared images depicting other leaders from the executive and judiciary. What Moses Kuria said about abductions Amid ongoing criticism of the government, Kuria sided with those opposed to the kidnapping of government critics.
In a tweet, Kuria recalled his role during Saba Saba Day in 1990, where he joined the likes of Jaromogi Oginga Odinga and James Orengo in fighting the KANU regime. Kuria stated that veteran politicians, including him, who took part in the struggle for democracy, cannot support any form of abduction in the country.
“On Saba Saba Day 1990, I was a prospective University of Nairobi Student but as a young activist who would rise to be SONU 92 Treasurer, I was trusted by akina Jaramogi, Wangari Maathai, Ngengi Muigai, James Orengo etc to coordinate Kiambu and Muranga Maandamanos. I am sure the entire team of my seniors then DO NOT approve the abductions of today,” Kuria said.
