The National Police Service (NPS) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have accused Juja MP George Koimburi of orchestrating his own abduction to gain political sympathy.

Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and DCI Director Amin Mohamed revealed that after interrogating three more suspects linked to the case, major inconsistencies emerged, undermining claims of a forceful abduction.

DCI chief Amin Mohamed, while speaking at the DCI headquarters along Kiambu Road, explained that police surveillance had tracked the MP’s movements from a church event to the moment he was found in a coffee plantation. However, investigations uncovered a well-coordinated plot, rather than a kidnapping.

“We’ve uncovered credible evidence showing that MP Koimburi was not abducted. His whereabouts on the day in question, including the hotel and room he stayed in, have been verified,” Mohamed said.

He also noted that investigators were denied access to interrogate the MP while he was hospitalized, raising further suspicion over the abduction narrative.

Police allege that Koimburi, with the help of close associates, staged the kidnapping. Those questioned include Peter Kiratu (Juja CDF chairman), Cyrus Kieru Muhia (a supermarket operator in Kahawa West), and Karanja Gatana. They reportedly coordinated the use of a Subaru Forester and Honda CRV to simulate the abduction.

Muhia told officers that Kiratu instructed him to provide his Subaru Forester for church security duties. On May 25, he drove to Mugutha and met Gatana, who was with unknown individuals. At the church, two men forcefully took Koimburi into the vehicle while Muhia was warned to remain silent.

Authorities say full legal action will be taken against Koimburi once investigations are finalized. The case has sparked debate over the misuse of public trust for political theatrics.
