Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has criticised the police over their claim that Juja MP George Koimburi staged his alleged abduction.
Speaking at the Karen Hospital shortly after visiting Koimburi on Tuesday, Kalonzo said that it was a shame for anyone to say the legislator abducted himself.
He said the police remarks are unbelievable, insisting that the Juja MP had torn clothes and was very lucky to be alive.
“When you hear stories like mheshimiwa abducted himself, you really want to pray for those people because they are evil. You see the torn clothes, he is lucky to be alive. Shame on anybody who thinks a mheshimiwa can abduct himself and you want us to believe your story,” Kalonzo said.
His remarks were in response to a statement by the National Police Service (NPS) on Monday, alleging that Koimburi could have staged his abduction and that they had launched investigations.
They also denied involvement in the alleged abduction and subsequent release of Juja MP George Koimburi.
Koimburi was found alive, dumped in Jacaranda coffee plantation, Kibichoi, Kiambu and taken to hospital.
He was picked up from the plantation on Monday morning, almost 12 hours after his family and friends said he had been kidnapped in Mugutha area.
His driver was arrested and taken to DCI headquarters for grilling, where he explained the MP instructed him to drop him on the road after learning police were planning to arrest him.
This is in connection with a land case that is under probe.
On Monday, a team visited a church he is said to have been prior to the said abduction, the scene where the abduction took place, the scene where he was found in a coffee plantation and two hospitals where he was attended to.
Police Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga on Monday reaffirmed the NPS's commitment to thoroughly investigate all reported cases and bringing those responsible to justice.
