Family of Raphael Tuju's missing driver to record statement

The family of Steve Mwanga, the missing driver of former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju is on Monday (today) expected to record their statement with the police over the incident.

A spokesman said they will formally record the statement at Karen police station to enable police to pursue the matter.

“As it stands now, people are only discussing Tuju while our kin Steve is also missing. Police insisted they wanted his child or wife to record the statement, and that is what we will do today,” said a spokesman.

Mwanga is a politician, and he had unsuccessfully vied for the Ugenya parliamentary seat.

Tuju and his driver cum aide have been missing since Saturday night.

No word has come out on his whereabouts and possible motive for the incident that saw his car left on the roadside.

His family recorded a missing report at Karen police station on Sunday morning, prompting a probe.

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 for 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 specialised investigative team has been deployed and is working in coordination with relevant government agencies to establish his whereabouts.

Authorities are utilising 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.

Police said on Monday they hoped to find them.
