Ruto's secret unit exposed by Martha Karua

NAC Kenya leader and running mate to the rightful winner of the 2022 presidential elections, Martha Wangari Karua, has publicly revealed shocking details. In a recent statement, Karua provided in-depth information about an "abduction squad" that has allegedly been terrorizing Kenyans, especially since the Generation Z protest on June 25. This information corroborates what we've been discussing on this channel, and it closely ties into my latest special report video.

Karua disclosed critical information about this squad: who they are, where they're based, and the true source of their power. Let's break down what she shared, point by point, for complete clarity.

According to Karua, this administration, particularly State House, has created a special “abduction/killer squad” with the purpose of terrorizing citizens, including those who voted for them. The bombshell in her statement is that this squad reportedly consists of individuals from Dr. Ruto's own ethnic community. Furthermore, some members have been selected from the police force, meaning they are law enforcement officers, and others from the Kenya Defence Forces, including military personnel. Shockingly, some members of this squad are foreigners from neighboring countries—Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Uganda.

Karua also revealed where this unit operates: in Karen, near the Deputy President’s official residence, and at a location called Olepolos in Kajiado County. This suggests that some of the Kenyans abducted may have been taken to these locations. Often, abductees are blindfolded, likely to prevent them from identifying these sites in case they are released.

It's crucial to emphasize that this is illegal. Such actions violate our constitution, disregarding the right to habeas corpus, which mandates that arrested individuals be brought before a judge and given an opportunity for release or for their detention to be justified. These rights are protected under our 2010 Constitution, making these alleged actions not only illegal but criminal.

History shows that regimes adopting these tactics inevitably face resistance and downfall. Leaders who disregard history often repeat its mistakes. President Ruto and his administration seem to be overlooking these lessons, which could lead to their downfall. This kind of repression has never been sustainable, as history consistently shows that such measures lead to revolt.

Karua’s claims are especially concerning in light of past events in Kenya, such as the regime of former President Daniel arap Moi. At that time, Moi’s foreign supporters eventually turned against him due to public outcry and human rights abuses, leading to a surge of foreign funds and support for opposition forces.

In addition, a recent local newspaper report has exposed how certain companies are allegedly aiding these efforts by tracking abductees. This collaboration implicates them legally as accomplices. According to law, anyone who assists in a crime is complicit.

Many may believe that having state control over security forces guarantees immunity, but this is a misconception. This abduction unit could very well be the issue that topples the Ruto administration. The desperation and hardship faced by Kenyans make them less susceptible to scare tactics, which are losing their effectiveness.

Is Farouk Kibet to Ruto what Biwott was to Moi?

 

One Friday in the year 2020, George Kinoti’s team was quite busy at an unusual location—the office of the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya, specifically at the Harambee House Annex. The detectives were there following up on investigations and gathering evidence in the Rashid Echesa case, an operation conducted very quietly to avoid drawing attention. This development is unprecedented in Kenyan history.

While there have been conflicts between vice presidents and presidents before, never has there been a case of investigators conducting inquiries at the office of such a high-ranking official. The question remains—are they looking for evidence?

This moment marks a significant development, and according to insiders, the next phase involves investigating close aides to Deputy President William Samoei Ruto, one prominent name being Farouk Kibet. Farouk is known as the Deputy President’s "gatekeeper"—it is virtually impossible to see the Deputy President without going through him.

Farouk Kibet first attracted international attention when ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda named him among those allegedly interfering with witnesses in the case against William Ruto. Although details were scarce, reports suggest that he once stormed into an Eldoret police station, a bold move in Kenya's security landscape.

Farouk’s connection to Ruto goes back to the 1997 elections when Ruto first entered Parliament against significant odds. Farouk’s father, Paul Talgat, was an ardent Ruto supporter, while Farouk supported Ruto’s opponent. However, by 2008, Farouk had become one of Ruto’s staunchest allies, willing to take significant risks on his behalf.

At the funeral of Farouk's father in 2018, several prominent politicians, including Aden Duale and Kipchumba Murkomen, used the opportunity to air grievances about Farouk's role and influence. They described him as a “dictator,” particularly in controlling access to the Deputy President’s office, including deciding who could and couldn’t have lunch in the office. The lack of an official office for Farouk—his “office” being a corridor where he intercepts visitors—further highlights his unusual role.

Farouk’s name has surfaced repeatedly in various controversies and scandals, including Jacob Juma’s assassination. A significant revelation came at his father’s funeral when Rashid Echesa, a former Cabinet Secretary, disclosed that Farouk introduced him to politics, underscoring their close connection.

The intricate web of relationships around powerful figures is closely scrutinized in many countries, as it often has profound political implications.
