Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburi has spoken publicly for the first time following his alleged abduction late last month, offering a personal account of what he described as a traumatic and harrowing experience.

In a video clip recorded from his hospital bed at Karen Hospital in Nairobi, Koimburi confirmed he is still admitted and expressed gratitude to those who have visited or supported him during his recovery. 

“The last two weeks have been very difficult for me, which I will never forget,” Koimburi said.

The MP claimed that on May 25, 2025, while leaving Full Gospel Church, he was confronted by unknown assailants who blindfolded him and allegedly administered a knock-out drug.

He said he later regained consciousness at a coffee farm, where a boda boda rider found him and contacted his family, who subsequently took him to hospital.

“I strongly condemn these abductions and the deaths being reported under similar circumstances in our country,” he said.

“I ask Kenyans to continue praying for our country and government. We want the government to intervene and end these abductions.”

However, the MP’s account has been met with strong skepticism from law enforcement authorities, who have accused him of faking the abduction for political purposes.

Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Director Amin Mohammed both dismissed the MP’s claims, citing inconsistencies uncovered during the investigation.

“It is quite inconceivable for an honourable Member of Parliament to stage-manage his own abduction, creating a lot of tension and fear in the country,” said DCI boss Amin Mohammed.

According to police, surveillance and testimony from three interrogated suspects provided evidence that contradicted Koimburi’s narrative. Authorities say they were able to trace his movements after he left the church, including identifying the hotel and room where he allegedly spent the night.

“We were able to account for all his movements from the time he attended the church up to where he slept that night,” said Amin.
