URGENT PUBLIC ALERT: WHERE IS CHRISTIN WANJIRU?
For purposes of public record, accountability and pursuit of justice, the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) wishes to bring to the attention of Kenyans and relevant State and human-rights institutions the disturbing circumstances surrounding the reported arrest and subsequent disappearance from known police custody of Christin Wanjiru, a Clinical Officer serving under the County Government of Kajiado.
KUCO has received information that Christin was arrested by police officers and taken to Kitengela Police Station, where she was allegedly detained without being promptly informed of the reasons for her arrest.
More disturbing, the Union subsequently received information that she was removed from Kitengela Police Station and picked up in the Subaru vehicle appearing in the attached photograph.
Her destination and current whereabouts are unknown.
This raises extremely serious constitutional and legal questions.
OCS KITENGELA POLICE STATION: WHERE IS CHRISTIN WANJIRU?
The police must immediately account for:
▪️ Why was Christin arrested?
▪️ Was her arrest and detention formally booked and recorded?
▪️ What was the OB/reference entry relating to her arrest and detention?
▪️ Who were the arresting officers?
▪️ Who authorised her removal from Kitengela Police Station?
▪️ Was she formally released or transferred?
▪️ To whom was she handed over?
▪️ Where was she being taken?
▪️ Who currently has custody of her?
▪️ Is Christin Wanjiru safe?
Article 49 of the Constitution of Kenya guarantees an arrested person the right to be promptly informed of the reason for arrest and to communicate with an advocate and other persons whose assistance is necessary.
Further, Article 244 of the Constitution demands professionalism, discipline, transparency and accountability from the National Police Service.
A Kenyan citizen cannot simply be arrested, held at a police station and thereafter be removed from known police custody without the responsible authorities being able to account for who took her, where she was taken and under whose lawful authority.
If Christin was lawfully transferred to another police station, investigative agency or other lawful custody, that information must be disclosed immediately.
KUCO therefore calls upon @NPSOfficial_KE@PoliceKE@DCI_Kenya@InteriorKE@IPOA_KE and @IAU_Kenya to urgently establish and disclose Christin Wanjiru's whereabouts and ensure her safety.
We further call upon @HakiKNCHR@LawSocietyofKe@AmnestyKenya@thekhrc@DefendersKe and @ODPP_KE to urgently intervene, document this matter and demand accountability from all officers and agencies involved.
To members of the public:
This is no longer merely a question about an arrest but fidelity to the law.
IT IS A QUESTION OF WHERE A KENYAN CITIZEN IS AFTER BEING LAST REPORTED IN POLICE CUSTODY.
The National Police Service is constitutionally required to protect life, liberty and human dignity and to remain accountable to the people of Kenya.
CHRISTIN WANJIRU MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR IMMEDIATELY.
WHERE IS CHRISTIN WANJIRU?
WHO TOOK HER FROM KITENGELA POLICE STATION?
UNDER WHOSE AUTHORITY?
WHERE IS SHE NOW?
THE POLICE MUST ACCOUNT NOW.

The Constitution is not a document for seasons. It is our shield and defender."
Wazalendo wenzangu,
Sixteen years ago today, on 27th August 2010, I stood at Uhuru Park as Vice President and watched President Mwai Kibaki sign and promulgate the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga stood beside him. When the 21-gun salute went off, I remember thinking that the country had finally exhaled after holding its breath for far too long.
I return to that day with a heavy heart. Of the three of us who stood on that dais, I am the only one still walking among you. President Kibaki rested on 21st April 2022 and Raila died on 15th October last year. That leaves me with a duty I do not treat lightly: to keep faith with what the three of us, and millions of Kenyans, put our names to.
Sixteen years ago, we chose the Constitution to end chaos. Let us choose it again today and every day, until the promise on the paper is the reality in every village in Kenya.

@ItsMutai Mbona wakikuyu are being lied to split their votes? Us in Rift valley, the whole of 7 sub counties we vote in one basket.. south rift region have more votes than the rest of kale nation and they haven't complained.

It was also a moment to reflect on the enduring friendship between the Kikuyu and Kalenjin communities.
As a son of the Mountain, I was honored to share some of my agricultural produce with Mama Mary Temas, symbolizing the continued bond and friendship that no one can break.
Once again, we extend our deepest condolences. May God comfort you, Mama.
The longstanding relationship between the Kalenjin and Kikuyu communities dates back to the 1950s, when Mzee Jomo Kenyatta was first visited by Daniel Arap Moi during his restriction period in Lodwar.
This historical bond has been built on mutual respect and shared aspirations, and no one can sever the political ties that unite us—not even individual acts of betrayal.
I was deeply honored to visit my Kipsigis supporters in Mogondo Town, Emurua Dikirr Constituency, for a thanksgiving service following the recent by-election in the constituency.
Despite our party being less than a year old, we secured an impressive victory with 10,760 votes against our opponents’ 18,266, thanks to your unwavering support for our DCP Candidate, Hon. Vincent Rotich Kibet.
I sincerely thank the people of Emurua Dikirr for your unconditional love and support for the DCP Party.
I kindly urge you to continue backing our efforts as we approach the upcoming general elections.
As we move forward, my promise is that we will walk this journey together, working hand in hand for our social, political, and economic development.
Asanteni sana, Emurua Dikirr. May God bless you all.
365 days to the election.
As we begin the election year, I share a glimpse of my plan for Kenya.
We must fix the nation, from the policies, to the systems, to the leadership that serves the people.
This is the work ahead.
This morning at Divine International Word Outreach in Industrial Area, Nairobi, Pastor Ruth Hillary took us through Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." It's a word our nation needs right now, especially for young Kenyans who feel abandoned and unsure of what tomorrow holds.
Our children are crying out. They are educated, capable, ready to work, yet too many have no opportunity. And when they raise their voices to demand a better Kenya, they are met with intimidation and, too often, violence. This cannot define us. A country that loses the confidence of its youth risks losing its future.
We will stand firm, peacefully and lawfully, for our rights. The right to demonstrate is guaranteed, and no Kenyan should be threatened for exercising it. The will of the people must be respected, the next election must be free and fair.
As we continue this fight for the liberation of Kenya, I pray God restores hope to our young people, opens doors for them, and grants our nation the peace and justice we are due.
This morning, I am attending a church service at Divine International Word Outreach, Industrial Area Nairobi, joining the congregation in prayer for our nation and its people.
Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 29:18 that “where there is no vision, the people perish.” Kenya must remain a nation guided by vision, faith, and a shared sense of purpose. As we reflect in God’s presence, we are reminded of our duty to lead with integrity, uphold justice, and work tirelessly towards a united and prosperous country for all.
I wish all Kenyans a blessed and peaceful Sunday. May God grant our nation wisdom, strengthen our resolve, and guide us forward in unity and hope.
This morning I received the French Ambassador to Kenya, H.E. Arnaud Suquet, and the German Ambassador to Kenya, H.E. Sebastian Groth, at my residence. It was a good, honest conversation.
We spoke plainly about where Kenya stands. The violence we continue to witness is a concern to all of us, and I told the Ambassadors as much that this is not the Kenya we should be building. Peace and the rule of law are not things we can afford to negotiate on.
Much of our conversation kept coming back to the IEBC. If Kenyans are to have confidence in their elections, the Commission has to be independent in practice, not just on paper. That is the foundation everything else is built on, and it is a conversation we must keep having, honestly and without fear.
We also talked about the long relationship Kenya has with France and Germany; friendships that go back many years, and that matter now more than ever. Democracy is not sustained by one country alone. It needs partners who are willing to engage honestly, even when the conversation is difficult.
I thank the Ambassadors for coming, and for a conversation that was open and direct. These are the discussions Kenya needs right now.
