Former Minister Raphael Tuju has been at the centre of a storm in recent days.
He vanished for two days, then resurfaced, claiming he hid from people who were trailing him.
Tuju’s career spans media, diplomacy and high-stakes politics, making him one of Kenya’s most visible public figures.
He first rose to prominence in the 1990s as a television journalist and news anchor, working with KTN and gaining recognition for his authoritative delivery and international exposure.
His transition into politics came in 2002 when he was elected Rarieda MP, riding the wave of political change that brought President Mwai Kibaki to power.
Tuju later served as Minister for Foreign Affairs, where he represented Kenya on the global stage during a period of renewed diplomatic engagement.
After losing his parliamentary seat, he remained active in politics, taking on advisory and party leadership roles.
He served as Jubilee Party Secretary-General, placing him at the centre of political strategy and internal disputes.
His journey reflects a shift from media trailblazer to a figure navigating complex political storms.
