Family of Tuju’s driver record statement after he goes missing
The family of Steve Mwanga, the missing driver of former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju on Monday recorded their statement with the police over the incident.
They said they want him to be found.
The family said the police had not taken any action even after being informed Tuju was missing.
“Police insisted they wanted his child or wife to record the statement and that is what we will do today,” said a spokesman.
Tuju and his driver cum aide are missing since Saturday night. They were the only people who were in the car at the time of the incident.
No word has come out on his whereabouts and possible motive for the incident that saw his far left on the roadside.
His family recorded a missing report at Karen police station on Sunday morning prompting a probe.
Tuju was to appear for a radio show on Saturday night but did not make it.
Tuju’s lawyers led by Paul Nyamodi and PLO Lumumba talked on the issue on Sunday and demanded police to take action and find Tuju and Mwanga.
Police visited the scene and the home of Tuju as part of the probe into the incident.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) launched investigations into the reported disappearance of Tuju following a missing person report lodged at Karen Police Station.
Tuju was reported missing by his family on Sunday, March 22, 2026.
Tuju with his driver Mwanga are believed to have been abducted by unknown persons over unknown reasons.
His motor vehicle was later discovered abandoned along Miotoni Lane, with its hazard lights still on.
A security guard from a nearby institution alerted authorities, prompting a swift response by officers from Karen Police Station.
The scene was processed by crime scene investigators, and the vehicle has since been towed to Karen Police Station for further forensic examination.
Efforts to reach Tuju have so far been unsuccessful, as his mobile phone remains switched off.
A specialized investigative team has been deployed and is working in coordination with relevant government agencies to establish his whereabouts.
Authorities are utilizing all available resources and investigative techniques to determine the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, the DCI said.
The DCI has noted that attempts by investigators to access Tuju’s residence along Mwitu Drive were denied by the family. The agency has urged full cooperation from all parties, including unrestricted access to relevant locations and the prompt provision of information, to ensure a swift and thorough investigation.
Members of the public who may have any information regarding Tuju’s whereabouts, or who may have seen him, his vehicle, or any suspicious activity in the Miotoni Lane or greater Karen area before, on, or after March 21, 2026, are urged to come forward, police said.
