The family of Steve Mwanga, the missing driver of former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju, is expected to record a statement with police on Monday as investigations into the mysterious disappearance gather pace.
A family spokesperson confirmed that Mwanga’s relatives will present themselves at Karen Police Station to formally assist detectives in pursuing 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,” the spokesperson said.
Mwanga, who also doubles as Tuju’s aide, is a politician who previously contested the Ugenya parliamentary seat unsuccessfully.
Both Tuju and Mwanga have been missing since Saturday night, with no communication from either of them. Their sudden disappearance has raised concern, particularly after Tuju’s vehicle was found abandoned by the roadside.
The car was discovered along Miotoni Lane in Karen with its hazard lights still on. A security guard from a nearby institution alerted authorities, prompting a swift response from officers based at Karen Police Station.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has since launched a full-scale investigation following a missing persons report filed by Tuju’s family on Sunday, March 22, 2026.
Detectives believe the two may have been abducted by unknown individuals for reasons that remain unclear. The recovered vehicle has been towed to Karen Police Station, where forensic experts are examining it for clues.
Efforts to reach Tuju have so far been unsuccessful, with his mobile phone reportedly switched off.
A specialised investigative team has been deployed and is working alongside other government agencies to establish the circumstances surrounding the disappearance.
The DCI also revealed that attempts by investigators to access Tuju’s residence along Mwitu Drive were unsuccessful after the family denied entry, urging all parties to cooperate fully to ensure a thorough and swift investigation.
Authorities are now appealing to members of the public who may have information about Tuju or Mwanga’s whereabouts to come forward. Police are particularly interested in anyone who may have seen the two, their vehicle, or any suspicious activity in the Miotoni Lane and greater Karen area before, during, or after March 21.
Police expressed optimism on Monday that ongoing efforts will lead to a breakthrough in locating the missing individuals.
