Kenyan Government Investigates Killing of John Ogutu in Tanzania Amid Post-Election Unrest - November 2025

The Kenyan government confirmed that a Kenyan national, John Ogutu, was killed in Tanzania during post-election unrest and has launched an investigation to provide answers to his family. Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo announced that authorities are seeking to understand the circumstances surrounding the death and ensure justice is served. This comes as human rights organizations criticize the Kenyan government for its silence on the issue and pressure mounts on Tanzania to account for other Kenyan citizens who went missing after the general election. The family of Ogutu has appealed to both governments for intervention. Reports also suggest Kenyans residing in Tanzania feel like "marked people" and are being targeted for alleged involvement in recent protests.
