National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has called for a parliamentary inquiry into the alleged forced disappearance of Juja MP George Koimburi.
Koimburi was reportedly captured by unknown individuals on the afternoon of Sunday, May 25, after a church service, and driven to an unknown destination.
The MP was found later dumped at Jacaranda Coffee Plantation, said to be owned by businessman Jimmy Wanjigi, in the Kibichoi area of Ruirua Coffee Farm in Kiambu County on Monday morning.
Speaking on Tuesday, May 27, during the parliamentary proceedings, Wetang'ula confirmed that Koimburi was found in a coffee plantation, despite police reports to the contrary.
"I have this morning instructed the chair of the Departmental Committee on the Administration and Internal Security to liaise with the Inspector General of Police and relevant security agencies to provide preliminary findings to the house," he said.
At the same time, Wetang'ula said that the lawmaker's family had instructed the hospital to deny access to all visitors, including the detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
"The facility is reportedly not allowing visitors, even officers from the DCI, who were keen to establish what may have transpired," Wetangula added.
He directed the members of the Security Committee to visit Koimburi in the hospital and give an update on his condition to the House.
Wetangu'la further advised the lawmakers and the members of the public to take their security seriously.
"Be vigilant. Be conscious of your surroundings and the company you keep to ensure your safety is not compromised," he said.
Koimburi 's wife reportedly sustained injuries while trying to prevent the seizure, according to Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang'wa.
The legislator's family confirmed that Koimburi is currently receiving treatment while police are still investigating the incident.
