Family To Missing IEBC Official Speaks To The Press

The missing officer’s sister, Veronica Njeri Mwangi, said in a press conference that they were stunned to learn of his abduction.

Njeri pleaded for anyone who may have information that could assist in locating the missing cop to come forward and expressed optimism that he would be located.

“As a family, we were surprised upon hearing that he went missing. We pray that he is safe. We are very positive that he will be found. We urge Kenyans to help in finding him. If you have any information, please come forth with it,” Njeri said.

Musyoka’s colleagues at the electoral body recounted that during the three day-period that they worked together, he was a sound and calm man.

“We know him as a sound and calm person, so I don’t think there was any trouble in terms of work. I urge the government to help in locating him,” Julius Maingi, a fellow IEBC official who worked with Musyoka stated.

K24 TV journalist Franklin Wallah who interviewed Musyoka’s family also recounted the missing officer’s final moments at the tallying centre, noting that Musyoka looked very tired after a grueling vote tallying process.

“I saw him that day on Thursday, August 11, and can confirm that he was tired because of the long-tenured process of counting the votes. When he left the centre, we began asking questions as to where he had gone but we were informed that he had gone to get some rest. That is when yesterday, Chebukati gave the information that he had gone missing,” Wallah noted.
According to a senior police officer based in Embakasi East, they are pursuing certain leads and attempting to track down Musyoka using the last detectable signal from his phone.

In an effort to find the missing cop who had not slept for three days after the voting process started, the police indicated that several teams have been sent out to scour the city and explore various leads.

“To date, we are still on the hunt following his trail. We talked to the family and made resolutions on how they will help security officers to find him. We have dispatched various teams who will be going around Nairobi
