DCI probes Raphael Tuju’s disappearance after car found abandoned in Karen
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are probing the disappearance of former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju after his car was found abandoned in Karen over the weekend.
The vehicle was discovered along Miotoni Lane on Saturday after a security guard alerted police. Officers quickly secured the area, and Crime Scene Investigators later processed the site before the car was towed to Karen Police Station for forensic examination.
Tuju’s family reported him missing the same day, raising concern among friends and associates. Attempts to contact him have been unsuccessful, and his mobile phone remains switched off.
“A specialised team has since been deployed to handle the case and is working in coordination with all other relevant government agencies to establish his whereabouts,” the DCI said in a statement on Facebook on Sunday.

“The investigating team is also utilising all available resources and investigative techniques to determine the circumstances surrounding his reported disappearance.”
The DCI said efforts to locate Tuju have been hampered by limited access to key locations, alleging that investigators were denied entry to his residence. The agency noted that timely access and the sharing of critical information are essential to resolving the case efficiently.
“An attempt by investigators to access Tuju’s residence along Mwitu Drive was denied by the family. We urge full cooperation from all parties, including unrestricted access to relevant locations and prompt provision of information, for a swift and thorough resolution,” the DCI said.
Authorities have also appealed to the public for any information that could assist in locating Tuju, including sightings of him, his vehicle, or unusual activity in and around Karen between March 21 and 22.
“The investigation remains ongoing and further updates will be provided as significant developments arise,” the sleuth agency said.
