Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburi was found abandoned at a coffee plantation in Kiambu County, raising concerns over his safety and sparking intense public interest. The legislator’s family confirmed that he is currently receiving medical treatment at Plainsview Hospital near Ruiru town following the incident.
According to reports, Koimburi was allegedly abducted by unknown individuals outside a church in Mugutha, Kiambu County, on Sunday. During the confrontation, his wife, Ann Koimburi, sustained injuries. Video footage circulating on social media shows the MP being driven away in a silver Subaru Forester with civilian registration plates, intensifying speculation around the incident.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) swiftly denied any involvement in Koimburi’s abduction. However, the agency confirmed that Koimburi had been actively sought since Friday over allegations of land fraud and misappropriation of Constituency Development Funds (CDF). These accusations have drawn significant public and legal scrutiny, with investigations ongoing.
Mrs. Koimburi expressed deep frustration over the lack of transparency in the investigation process. She revealed that authorities had, on previous occasions, confiscated her husband’s phone and vehicle but failed to provide information about his whereabouts. This ongoing uncertainty has left the family distressed and seeking answers.
The incident has prompted calls for a thorough and transparent investigation to clarify the circumstances surrounding the MP’s disappearance and recovery. Public officials and community members have urged security agencies to act swiftly to restore trust and ensure justice is served.
As the case unfolds, it highlights growing concerns over political safety, the rule of law, and accountability in public office, especially amid allegations of corruption involving public funds. The Juja MP’s ordeal underscores the need for robust measures to protect public servants and maintain integrity in governance.
Further updates are expected as investigations continue, and the public awaits clarity on the motives behind the abduction and the ongoing probe into the alleged financial misconduct.
