Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has strongly criticized the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) for its perceived failure to address alleged police involvement in the abductions of Kenyans.

• Governor Waiguru stated that the ongoing wave of abductions is damaging the government's image and hindering supporters' efforts to defend it.
• The Governor asserted that IPOA has not promoted accountability within the National Police Service (NPS).
• She emphasized that abductions are unlawful, a violation of human rights, and are being used as a political tool by the opposition.
