Activists gathered along Aga Khan Walk in Nairobi on Tuesday to demand answers over the disappearance of their colleague Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, who went missing in Uganda.

Members of the Revolutionary Gen Z Movement, led by Brian Okeja, said it has been 29 days since the two men were reportedly abducted.

They expressed frustration with both diplomatic and legal avenues, claiming the government has remained silent.

“We feel that our government has failed us because it is the responsibility of the government to ensure citizens are protected within and beyond our borders,” Okeja told journalists.

The group said it visited the office of Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi to demand proof of life for the missing Kenyans, but was denied the opportunity to address officials.

They also reported receiving notifications of potential arrests, prompting them to speak to the media.

The activists cited Ugandan law, including Articles 23 and 24 of the 1995 Constitution, and the East African Treaty, emphasising that the abductions violate both Ugandan law and regional agreements guaranteeing free movement and protection of citizens.

The protest along Aga Khan Walk is ongoing as activists continue to call on authorities to provide information about the whereabouts and safety of Njagi and Oyoo.

The two went missing after reportedly being attacked by armed men while attending Uganda opposition leader Bobi Wine's campaign event.

Ugandan police spokesman Kituma Rusoke, however, told the BBC the two were not in their custody.

Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen said that foreign affairs officials were working to ensure their safe release.

"It is the duty of the government of Kenya to protect its citizens in any part of the world," Murkomen said.
