Roots Party former presidential running mate Justina Wamae has expressed concerns regarding the abduction of Juja Member of Parliament (MP) George Kiomburi.
In a statement on X, on Monday, May 26, 2025, Wamae stated that Kiomburi’s abductors were evil according to how he was found.
“It is like the abduction of Juja MP was conducted by Satan without agents,” he stated.
Koimburi was found on the morning of May 26, 2025, abandoned in a coffee plantation in the Kibichoi area of Kiambu County.
Details surrounding the incident remain unclear, and those responsible for the act have not yet been identified.
Koimburi reportedly told authorities he was abducted and beaten by unknown assailants who grabbed him from outside a church in Kiambu on Sunday afternoon.
According to eyewitness accounts and statements from Koimburi’s wife, Ann Koimburi, the MP was accosted by two men disguised as worshippers.
Kiomburi’s abduction
They joined a crowd of well-wishers greeting the MP after the service before suddenly overpowering him and forcing him into a waiting Subaru Forester with an altered number plate allegedly intended to obscure the vehicle’s true identity.
“We had just left church, and it is normal for Mheshimiwa to greet people, but they quickly turned on him and forced him into the car,” Koimburi said.
Further, she stated that she attempted to intervene but was overpowered and injured in the ensuing scuffle.
“They started hitting me from outside, and I felt as if my arm was broken. I had no choice but to let go of my husband,” she recounted.
The two men, dressed in plain clothes, did not identify themselves during the incident
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has denied any involvement in the abduction, though it confirmed that Koimburi has been sought since May 23, 2025, in connection with alleged land fraud and misuse of Constituency Development Funds (CDF).
Kakamega rally
His abduction follows political unrest witnessed on May 25, 2025, in Kakamega, where supporters of the Democratic Change Party (DCP) were dispersed by police during planned rallies.
The party’s Deputy Leader, Cleophas Malala, also had his vehicle impounded for alleged dangerous driving.
The DCP deputy party leader was accompanied by Senators Methu Muhia of Nyandarua and Karungo Thang’wa of Kiambu, among other leaders and party officials.
DCP Party Leader Rigathi Gachagua condemned the actions, describing them as part of a systematic political persecution targeting opposition leaders.
