In a bizarre twist of events that has shaken Kenya’s political scene, Kanyenyaini Ward MCA Grace Nduta has been linked to the suspicious “abduction” of Juja MP George Koimburi.
What was first reported as a high-profile kidnapping now appears to be a poorly disguised getaway. Sources say Nduta, known in political circles as “City,” was allegedly having a secret romantic escapade with Koimburi during the time he was declared missing.
Now, questions are flying, reputations are crumbling, and Kenyans are demanding accountability for the shameful drama that’s wasting public resources and distracting from real issues.
Murang’a’s MCA and Koimburi Caught in a Staged Abduction Love Affair
The so-called Koimburi abduction drama has now taken a scandalous turn, with evidence suggesting that the missing MP was never really in danger. Instead, Koimburi may have been hiding in plain sight with Grace Nduta, who is now under police scrutiny.
Nduta was reportedly taken into custody by detectives and held at a police post in Gatanga after she was tracked down following suspicious movements. This happened just days after reports went viral about Koimburi vanishing under mysterious circumstances. But sources in the investigation now reveal authorities believe the two were together all along—enjoying private time while the nation was fed false panic.
Even more damning, the MCA’s own driver has confirmed he dropped her off at a hotel where the secret meeting likely occurred. “I left her there and noticed a suspicious vehicle nearby. I called to check on her and learned she had been taken by three men,” he said. However, insiders believe this “abduction” was not real but a cover-up for the scandalous rendezvous.
Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata had earlier posted on X that the MCA was picked up and possibly held in Samuru Police Post. But he stopped short of giving details, leading to even more speculation.
Shortly after, Koimburi was mysteriously “found” on a coffee farm in Kiambu, unharmed and with no evidence of violence. It didn’t add up then. It doesn’t add up now.
MCA’s Political Ties Raise Even More Questions
Nduta’s allies suggest her woes are not just about the abduction story but also about her deep political ties. The embattled MCA recently welcomed former impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to a church service in Murang’a, further fueling claims that her political alliances are painting a target on her back.
However, critics argue that the attempt to frame this scandal as political persecution is nothing more than a distraction. “You cannot use political alliances as an excuse for misconduct,” said one political analyst. “If Grace Nduta was found in a compromising position during the time the country believed Koimburi had been kidnapped, then she must answer for her role in deceiving the public.”
The scandal is also affecting public trust in law enforcement and elected leaders. Many citizens now wonder how deep this deception goes and how many others might have known about it. Was it just the two of them, or did they have help in staging the drama?
MPs Demand Prosecution and Full Disclosure
Outrage in Parliament has grown louder since the news broke. Several lawmakers are demanding a full investigation into what really happened between the Murang’a MCA and Koimburi during the time he was allegedly missing.
“This is a shameful abuse of power and a betrayal of public trust,” one MP said. “If these leaders were hiding in hotels while we mobilized national security for a fake kidnapping, they must be prosecuted.”
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has remained tight-lipped but is under pressure to release full findings. The fake abduction story caused panic, wasted police resources, and dominated national headlines for days—all while the two leaders may have been secretly together.
Koimburi has yet to give a full statement explaining where he was and what happened during his so-called abduction. Meanwhile, Nduta’s location remains unclear, with some claiming she has gone underground since being released by the authorities.
This scandal shows the dark side of Kenya’s political theatre, where lies, power plays, and personal escapades overshadow the duties of elected office. As Kenyans struggle with a high cost of living, insecurity, and corruption, this spectacle only deepens the public’s frustration.
