Police have come out to deny claims of any involvement in the alleged disappearance and subsequent torture of Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburi.
In a statement on the evening of Monday, May 26, the National Police Service gave a conflicting version of events to those made by Koimburi's allies, particularly regarding the circumstances leading to the lawmaker's disappearance on Sunday.
Police Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga claimed that, contrary to earlier reports by Koimburi's allies, the MP was fully aware that he was on the authorities' radar over various allegations, including a land fraud scheme.
Earlier, Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Than'gwa claimed no summons had been received by Koimburi regarding any allegations.
