Moses Etyang, a former Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) ranger, is appealing to President William Ruto for intervention after being dismissed from service in 2016 following a 2014 peacekeeping mission in Somalia.Etyang sustained severe head injuries during an attack by Al-Shabaab militants, leading to mental health issues and sleepwalking episodes.Despite winning two court cases, he claims no compensation has been awarded, with legal delays preventing implementation.

His dismissal followed a medical board's confirmation that his injuries were work-related, but he faced torture and detention before being sacked.Etyang's wife left him, and he faces community mockery for his condition.Recently, he was abducted near his home, escaping after a vehicle puncture.He now demands the government enforce court rulings to prevent further health decline.
