Energy and Petroleum CS Opiyo Wandayi has called out his counterpart and Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management CS Justin Muturi over abduction claim.
Speaking during a TV interview, Wandayi noted that it was wrong for him to issue a public statement but instead could have addressed it internally to find a solution.

He continued by saying that if the CS is not pleased by how things are going, then he should consider resigning.
“It is a very strange phenomenon that one could criticize the very government that they serve in. As a member of the cabinet, I have more than enough avenues to air out my opinion or to express myself within the framework of the government or the executive, or more importantly, if for whatever reason I disagree with the position taken by the government or I disagree with the direction the government is taking or I disagree with the policies of the government. I can only do one thing, which is to quit,” he said
According to Wandayi it is wrong to point fingers when there is no adequete evidence even though he does not support abductions in the first place.
“I don’t think anybody in their right senses can support abductions. My track record as a Kenyan human rights defender is clear that I have never supported any such atrocities or any human rights abuses. I am sure the relevant investigative agencies of the government are working round the clock to unravel this issue. I don’t think it is proper to start pointing fingers without adequate evidence,” he said
