Tension is mounting in Juja following the disappearance of area Member of Parliament George Koimburi,  who went missing on Friday.

The MP had reportedly been pursued by individuals believed to be State agents shortly after attending a bursary issuance event at Gachororo Primary School grounds.

Although the MP reportedly managed to flee the scene on a motorbike, his driver was arrested during the chase and taken to the DCI headquarters. "Yesterday, while we were compiling uncollected bursary cheques, Mheshimiwa called one of our senior colleagues and informed him that he was being chased by about five Subaru vehicles.

We abandoned everything to try and catch up, but we couldn't," a witness told The Sunday Standard yesterday, adding: "Later, we were told that the driver had been arrested at gunpoint.
