The government has revealed that four Turkish nationals allegedly abducted on Friday have been repatriated at the request of their country.
According to the State Department of Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing'oei , the rights of the four will be upheld after assurances from Turkish authorities.
“Kenya acceded to this request on the strength of the robust historical and strategic relations anchored on bilateral instruments between our respective countries,” he stated.
He also expressed the government’s commitment to the international community to protect and promote refugee rights as prescribed under national and international law.
‘Kenya is committed to the privacy and confidentiality of the repatriated individuals and will refrain from responding to media inquiries on the subject until the ongoing inter-agency inquiry review of the case is complete,” he said.
