Relief and renewed hope have spread across the country after Raphael Tuju, who had been reported missing for two days, was found alive.
Authorities confirmed the development after an intense search led by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), bringing an end to growing concern over his sudden disappearance.
According to officials, Tuju and his driver were located safely, though details surrounding where they were found and the exact circumstances of their disappearance have not yet been fully disclosed.
Investigators have said they are still working to piece together what happened during the period he was missing.
Earlier reports had indicated that Tuju’s phone had been switched off, making it difficult for authorities to trace his location.
This raised alarm among his family, friends, and political associates, prompting the DCI to launch a formal investigation.
Detectives began reviewing his recent movements, contacts, and possible routes he may have taken before going missing.
During the search, the case faced some challenges, including limited access to certain areas that investigators believed could provide important clues.
However, authorities remained determined and continued to follow all available leads.
They also called on members of the public to share any information that could assist in locating the former Cabinet Secretary.
The news of Tuju being found alive has been welcomed by many Kenyans, especially those who had been closely following the case.
Political leaders and members of the public have expressed relief, with some taking to social media to celebrate the positive outcome.
Even though he has been found safe, authorities say investigations are not over.
The DCI has emphasized that they will continue looking into the matter to understand what led to his disappearance and whether there was any wrongdoing involved.
Officials have noted that establishing the truth is important to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Tuju, a well-known figure in Kenya’s political scene, has served in various high-ranking government positions and remains influential in public affairs.
His disappearance had caused anxiety due to his status and past involvement in national matters.
