Missing Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburi was Monday morning found dumped in a coffee plantation in Kibichoi area, Kiambu County.
It is not clear who was behind the incident.
He complained of being beaten up by his alleged abductors who picked him from outside a church in Kiambu on Sunday afternoon.
Police have denied involvement in the drama.
Police added that an investigation is ongoing into the incident after the family reported the said abduction on Sunday.
Police said they want to talk to the MP as part of the probe into the incident.
When he was found, he lay on the ground unconscious while in a navy blue suit he was in on Sunday when he was picked up.
The motive of the incident is yet to be known. Witnesses said he was picked up by an ambulance and rushed to Karen Hospital.
Koimburi’s wife, Ann Koimburi said the MP was accosted by two men disguised as worshippers.
She said the two men grabbed and forced him to a waiting Subaru Forester with an altered number plate—allegedly intended to obscure the vehicle’s true identity.
The two men, dressed in plain clothes, did not identify themselves during the incident.
They drove off with him. Former Deputy President and DCP Party Leader Rigathi Gachagua condemned the actions, describing them as part of a systematic political persecution targeting opposition leaders.
The incident follows political unrest witnessed a day earlier in Kakamega, where supporters of the Democratic Change Party (DCP) were dispersed by police during planned rallies.
The party’s Deputy Leader, Cleophas Malala, also had his vehicle impounded for alleged dangerous driving.
Koimburi is close to former Deputy President and DCP Party Leader Rigathi Gachagua.
Gachagua claimed that it is evident the government is targeting supporters of the party in an attempt to sabotage their campaign against the government.
The government is yet to issue a statement on the issue.
