Kenyan Opposition Accuses Safaricom of Aiding Abductions, Calls for Public Holiday of Remembrance Nairobi, Kenya – June 11, 2025 – The united opposition in Kenya held a press conference today to level serious accusations against Safaricom, the nation's leading mobile network operator. They claim Safaricom has been complicit in the tracing and abduction of Kenyan citizens, citing the case of Alberto Ojwang as a prime example. The opposition’s spokesperson stated, "Safaricom is a facilitator in the tracing and abductions of Kenyans." The speaker called for a day of remembrance on June 25th to honor the victims and demanded Safaricom take responsibility for its alleged actions. The accusations are significant given Safaricom’s prominent role in Kenyan society and the potential ramifications for the government and the company. Further investigation is needed to verify the opposition's claims. The call for a public holiday underscores the gravity of the situation and the emotional impact on the Kenyan public.
