Kenya has been gripped by a wave of disappearances, with the state-funded rights group saying that over 80 people have been abducted in the last six months. The abductions generally target government critics and are widely believed to be the work of security agents, although the authorities have not admitted responsibility. They began in June last year during nationwide anti-tax protests, but increased in December, when AI-generated photos of the president in a coffin were widely shared. Lerato Mbele spoke to Gabriel Muthuma, deputy spokesperson of the Kenyan government and, Daniel Ominde, Kenyan-based journalist.
