Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburi was poisoned with a chemical that has paralysed his vocal cords, according to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Gachagua, while addressing the media after visiting the hospitalised MP on Monday evening, revealed that Koimburi can hardly move and is frail.
This follows the MP's alleged disappearance and subsequent discovery on a coffee farm in Kiambu County earlier today.
Gachagua spoke outside the Karen Hospital, accusing the government of what he termed 'desperate tactics' to silence its loudest critics.
According to Gachagua, Koimburi was subjected to severe torture during the 18 hours he was missing, subsequently sustaining soft tissue injuries.
