- According to Mwita, Kiprotich escaped armed men in a Toyota Probox who tried to seize him from his car on June 27, 2026.
- Mwita said the abduction was the second time Kiprotich had been targeted within two months.
- Mwita said the vehicle was traced to the National Police Service’s Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau; nobody was held accountable for the attempt.
- Mwita demanded Kiprotich’s safe, unconditional release and a transparent, independent investigation into both incidents.
If that is confirmed, this is not simply a crime against one man. It is an assault on the Constitution of Kenya, on the freedoms of expression and of the media guaranteed under Articles 33 and 34, and on the right of every Kenyan to independent information.— Chaacha Mwita, Standard Group's Chief Executive Officer, in a statement.
