National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has called for an immediate parliamentary inquiry into the mysterious disappearance and reappearance of Juja MP George Koimburi.
Speaking on Tuesday, Wetang’ula confirmed that Koimburi, who was reported missing on Sunday, was later found alive in a coffee plantation under unclear circumstances and is currently hospitalized in Nairobi.
“I have this morning instructed the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security to liaise with the Inspector General of Police and relevant security agencies to provide preliminary findings to the House,” said the Speaker.Wetang’ula also announced that the hospital treating the MP had denied access to all visitors, including detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), following instructions from the legislator’s family, a development that has further deepened the mystery surrounding the case.
“The facility is reportedly not allowing visitors, even officers from the DCI who were keen to establish what may have transpired,” the surprised Wetang’ula said.The Speaker further directed members of the Security Committee to visit Koimburi in the hospital and provide the House with an update on his condition.
