Friday, November 29, 2024 - In a disturbing turn of events, Justin Siocha, the whistleblower who exposed the embezzlement of Ksh 19.7 million from the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) by Woman Representative Dorice Donya, has reportedly been abducted by individuals claiming to be DCI officers from Nairobi.
Witnesses in Kisii reported
seeing Siocha being forcibly taken into a car by men who identified themselves
as officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
The incident has raised alarm about Siocha's safety and the potential misuse of authority to silence whistleblowers.
Siocha recently brought to light
the alleged misappropriation of substantial NGAAF funds, accusing Woman
Representative Dorice Donya of being involved in the embezzlement.
His revelations have led to
increased scrutiny and calls for accountability within the government.
Local authorities and human
rights organizations have expressed their concern and are demanding immediate
action to locate Siocha and ensure his safety.
The Kisii County Police have
confirmed receiving reports of the abduction and have launched an
investigation.
However, they have not yet
verified the identities of the individuals involved or their affiliation with
the DCI.
The police have urged anyone
with information about the incident to come forward to assist with the investigation.
In a statement, Siocha's family
expressed their anguish and pleaded for his safe return. "Justin has been
a courageous voice against corruption, and we are devastated by his abduction.
We hope and pray for his safety and urge the authorities to act swiftly,"
the statement read.
This incident has sparked
outrage and highlighted the dangers faced by whistleblowers in the fight
against corruption. Advocacy groups are calling for stronger protections and
assurances for individuals who come forward with critical information on
malpractices within the government.
As the investigation unfolds, the public remains on high alert, hoping for the safe return of Justin Siocha and seeking justice for the wrongdoings he courageously exposed.
