The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have launched a search for Uganda Member of Parliament (MP) David Wakikona after he went missing on Sunday, October 9, 2022.
According to a police report seen by K24 Digital, the lawmaker who was in the country at the time checked in at a hotel along Arwings Kodhek road for an East Africa Community (EAC) meeting with three colleagues and the National Assembly clerk on October 3, 2022.
"It was reported that Hon David Wakikona, MP for Budida, Uganda checked in at Samura Court along Arwings Kodhek Road, Nairobi County on 3/10/2022 for an EAC meeting with colleagues Abdi Kisos, John Ngoya, Paul Busiro and Opiyo Emmanuel the clerk of the National Assembly," the police report seen by K24 Digital reads in part.
After the meeting, he requested the watchman guarding the premises to order a taxi to take him to Tom Mboya street.
Shortly after he boarded the taxi, his phone reportedly went silent, and his whereabouts remained unknown.
"At around 0626hrs, he went to the main gate and asked the guard to request an Uber for him. Shortly, an Uber with registration number KCS 466G, which Robert Wangombe was driving, picked him up and drove off," the police report added.
Kenyan MP robbed
The incident comes a few days after Olokalau MP David Kiaharo was carjacked and robbed of Ksh700,000 by a gang of three.
An armed robber stopped Kiaharo as he was driving home from a refreshment joint at 2:00 pm.
Shortly after, two accomplices joined him before they forced the legislator to drive off to the Muthiga area within Kikuyu.
He was then blindfolded and demanded to give out his cash and ATM card. The robbers ransacked the motor vehicle before walking away with Ksh700,000, which he had hidden under the driver's seat.
The legislator was then abandoned in Karen while the gang fled the scene.
