The Homa Bay County Government has interdicted a human resource officer in connection with the alleged abduction and torture of People Daily journalist Habil Onyango. This dismissal is a procedural step to allow for a comprehensive investigation into the incident, which reportedly stemmed from an investigative article published by Onyango.

• The interdicted officer worked in the Department of Roads, Transport, and Public Works.
• Habil Onyango was allegedly abducted on Sunday, September 14, and forced to inhale bhang.
• The abduction and assault were reportedly orchestrated due to Onyango's coverage of a fraudulent employment scheme.
