Former Chief Justice David Maraga has called for the immediate release of youth leader Mulinge Muteti, who vanished during a Nairobi protest on Monday, September 21, 2026. Maraga expressed shock and concern, noting that President Ruto's security forces are involved in the disappearance. Muteti, a member of the Paza Sauti Movement, left a cybercafé to print a petition but never returned.
His family, along with human rights groups and opposition figures, are demanding answers and his release. Muteti's brother, Alex Ndambuki, states that the family has searched several police stations and the Kenyatta International Convention Centre without success. An urgent application was filed at Milimani Law Courts, invoking constitutional protections and requesting detailed records of Muteti's arrest and detention.
Human rights defenders believe the police may have information about his whereabouts and have called for a review of CCTV footage from Nairobi's CBD. The High Court application aims to determine Muteti's custody and the legal basis for his detention.
