When William Ruto was campaigning for the presidency, he looked Kenyans in the eye and promised to end enforced disappearances, false imprisonment, and extrajudicial killings of citizens. Ruto's promise came against the backdrop of serious violations of human rights that culminated into arbitrary arrests, abductions and extrajudicial killings that happened under the Jubilee administration in which he served as the Deputy President.
