Concern is growing over the whereabouts of former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju, who has been reported missing under circumstances that are now drawing national attention.
According to information shared by family members and sources close to the matter, Tuju first raised alarm on Saturday, March 21, 2026, when he reported to Karen Police Station that he had been followed the previous day by a white Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series with no number plates. The report was formally recorded under OB 21/21/03/2026, indicating that he may have felt his safety was at risk.
Later that same day, Tuju was scheduled to appear on Ramogi FM at around 7:00 p.m., but he failed to make the appearance. His absence raised initial concern, which quickly escalated when his family reported that he had not been seen since Saturday afternoon and that his mobile phone remained switched off.
The situation took a more alarming turn on Sunday morning when his son, Mano Tuju, received a call from the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) at Karen Police Station while attending church. He was informed that Tuju’s vehicle had been discovered abandoned along Miotoni Lane.
Following the discovery of the vehicle, a missing person report was officially filed at the same police station under OB 17/22/03/2026, marking a significant escalation in the case.
The sequence of events—from the initial report of being followed, to the missed public appearance, and finally the discovery of the abandoned vehicle—has raised serious questions about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
The case comes at a time when Tuju has been involved in a high-profile legal dispute over a multi-billion shilling loan, adding further public interest and complexity to the situation. Observers note that such factors may intensify scrutiny as investigators work to establish what may have transpired.

Authorities have not yet issued a detailed public statement regarding the disappearance, but investigations are expected to focus on the reported surveillance incident, possible movements of the vehicle, and any communication records that could assist in tracing his whereabouts.
As the search continues, family members, associates, and members of the public are calling for swift action to locate the former Cabinet Secretary and ensure his safety.
The unfolding developments are likely to attract heightened attention in the coming hours, as investigators piece together the timeline and pursue leads that could shed light on one of the most concerning missing persons cases involving a high-profile figure in recent times.
