Released MP’s Assistant After 48-Hour Abduction Rushed To The Hospital
Bumula Member of Parliament Jack Wamboka’s assistant was rushed to the hospital on Friday after suffering a horrific ordeal at the hands of alleged abductors.
Taking to his X platform, the legislator revealed that his assistant had been missing for two days before being discovered at a police station.
The MP went on to thank Kenyans for raising the alarm following the assistant’s disappearance.
“We managed to find our brother after two days of missing following a sad ordeal at the hands of the police,” the MP revealed.
“Thank you for your goodwill messages and raising alarms. He’s recuperating and will be better.”

Wamboka’s revelation comes two days after the lawmaker expressed concern about the disappearance of his assistant, whom he claimed was held incommunicado.
The MP revealed that his efforts to find his assistant in all hospitals and police stations failed because the assistant was unable to be found.
Wamboka went on to inform the speaker of the national assembly, Moses Wetangula, and the Inspector General of Police about the incident.
“This kind of intimidation targeting MPs who stood with Kenyans and voted No is backward and must end,” the MP urged.
Wamboka’s remarks come in the wake of a High Court decision two days ago ordering the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the National Police Service (NPS) to release all abducted Kenyans held incommunicado.
The court issued the orders in response to a petition filed by 13 people accusing the NIS and Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome of abductions.
“Noting that it is over twenty-four hours since the abductions complained of took place, an order is hereby issued Directing the respondents, their agents and or servants, to immediately and unconditionally release the 2nd to 13th petitioners,” the court directed.
