Tom Osinde, a former employee of the National Treasury, had his body thrown in the River Kuja in Migori County when it was discovered. His family members positively recognized the body on Thursday morning. More than ten days after Mr Osinde was reported missing, his body was found.

Brother Mr Nemwel Osinde, who is living in the United States, confirmed Mr Osinde's news, which is still cloaked in mystery, in a Facebook post.

"I want to thank all my friends for their love, prayers, and support during my brother's hunt. Unfortunately, the result isn't what we expected. Tom was killed, and his body was discovered in the county of Migori. Please keep us in your prayers as we work to reconcile, said Mr Nemwel Osinde.


The deceased was a sibling of the late Ken Osinde, the Chief of Staff in President William Ruto's administration when he was the Deputy President. Between 2010 and 2014, Mr Ken Osinde was also Kenya's ambassador to Germany.
