The driver refused to open the vehicle door after being stopped by traffic police officers and NTSA officials. The driver then sped off, driving past the police barricade.
A KTN investigation uncovers what happened in Homa Bay on August 16 during the Linda Mwananchi rally, an outbreak of violence on an unprecedented scale.
The investigation seeks to establish what occurred before the violence, who planned and mobilized it, who recruited the youth, and what followed in its aftermath.

For your peace of mind, make peace with not knowing everything. Some people will never explain their behaviour, and some endings will never feel fair. You can still accept them and continue with your life.
President Mwai Kibaki once called his driver "bure...pumbafu sana". The crowd in attendance went wild with laughter and when the event was broadcast, so did the nation. The moniker pumbafu became an everyday insult, albeit jokingly. What Kenyans did not know was that the object of the insult was one Zachary Kariuki. Kariuki was President Kibaki's driver and had parked the armoured vehicle on grass.

The Machakos High Court has officially rejected previous police reports and ordered a fresh, thorough investigation into the abduction of Mlolongo businessman Jimmy Mutava Mwanzia. Ruling today , the court expressed extreme dissatisfaction with how lightly the authorities have handled the case.
Jimmy Mutava vanished on July 27, 2026. He was reportedly last seen at a local establishment in Mlolongo in the company of a senior police officer (the Mlolongo OCS) before being seized by armed, masked individuals.
Justice Noel Inziani noted that previous updates provided by Daniel Jumwa, the Director of the DCI's Anti-Abduction Unit, were insufficient. The court found no concrete evidence to definitively prove or disprove whether Mutava is being held in police custody.
The case has escalated beyond local concern, with Mavoko MP Patrick Makau bringing the matter before the National Assembly to demand his release or a definitive answer on his whereabouts.
Dear @DCI_Kenya, don’t we have patrols on major roads nowadays? Why are Wahuni thugs being allowed to freely rob and terrorise motorists along the Expressway? This vehicle, KDT 053T, was reportedly being used in the attacks. This traumatising criminality must be stopped.
Kariuki is no ordinary officer. While stations across the country go without cars or fuel, he has 17 vehicles assigned to him. Insiders at DCI say his fleet includes 14 new Subarus, one D-Max, a Ford Ranger and a Toyota Double Cab. The source says the many Subarus that were doing rounds during protests belong to his unit.

In the shadowy underbelly of Kenya's security apparatus, the retired police officer with no formal investigative training has emerged as the unlikely kingpin running one of the country's most controversial police units. Kariuki, a long-time associate of DCI Director Mohammed Amin, is the man at the helm of the Operations Support Unit (OSU), a secretive police formation now facing intense scrutiny over allegations of involvement in the abduction and torture of government critics.

The phone went dead, and with it, hope flickered like a candle in the wind, only that this time, the wind was gathering pace.
It was 9:20 pm on Tuesday when Standard Group Senior Editor Alex Kiprotich made his final desperate call to the company's Head of Security, Tom Kipyegon. The editor's voice was frantic, barely coherent, shouting that he was being abducted in Gilgil. Then silence. The line went dead. Kipyegon tried calling back repeatedly, but each attempt was met with nothing. Minutes later, Kiprotich's phone was completely switched off. The nightmare had begun. And the nightmare's name was Kenya Police.

The Standard has since confirmed that KDG 125E belongs to a government vehicle under the use of the Kenya Police. However, yesterday evening an entry had been made at the NTSA portal saying the number belongs to a Honda vehicle registered to an Alex Maundu.
