A recent intelligence report presented to the Kenyan parliament has revealed that more than 1,000 Kenyans have been recruited to fight for Russia in its ongoing war in Ukraine, a figure that is five times higher than previous estimates. This alarming development was confirmed by a report from Kenya's National Intelligence Service, which indicated that these individuals were misled with false promises of jobs in Russia before being sent to the front lines. Kimani Ichung’wah, the majority leader of Kenya’s national assembly, highlighted the role of 'rogue recruitment agencies and individuals in Kenya' in this trafficking operation, with investigators uncovering the involvement of immigration staff and security agencies in facilitating these recruitments. Families of the recruits, such as Winnie Rose Wambui, are increasingly desperate for information about their loved ones, as protests demanding government intervention intensify in Nairobi.
