What to expect when you report a missing person

Kenya: Over the past few months, we have written about missing persons in this space. Sometimes, the people are reunited and we happily feature the reunions.

There are hundreds of families around the country that suffer silently without knowing the fate of their loved ones. They search in vain. The common trend in these cases is that the affected families feel the police do not move as fast as they would like. Perhaps it is because the officers do not feel the family’s agony. Or again, probably they have received so many cases of missing persons that the have become immune.
