"The president and I gave a categorical promise to the people of Kenya that the issue was abductions and extrajudicial killings will never happen again," Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua said in a televised address. "Sadly, this is back." However, Irungu Houghton, executive director of Amnesty International Kenya, told Reuters there were clear cases of abuse.
He was forced to sit on the concrete floor, which his captors flooded with freezing water. Then the interrogation and threats to his family began.
