Muthwani Member of County Assembly (MCA) Dominic Maitha has been reported missing shortly after threatening to table impeachment motion against Governor Wavinya Ndeti.
Reports indicate that the beleaguered MCA has not been seen for over 24 hours, prompting fears about his safety.
“From Tuesday, March 25, his whereabouts have been unknown, and owing to the fact that last week he spoke heavily concerning the impeachment of our governor, and for the last 15 hours he has been missing. His family and friends have not been able to trace him; his two phones are off. We wish to appeal to the members of the public and the security agencies to help establish where he is,” Kinanie Ward MCA Francis Kavyu said.
Maitha’s father also expressed concern, noting that his son was last seen heading to work.
“I was with him and he told me that he was going to work, but this morning, I got the report that he did not report for work and they have been looking for him. I’m also wondering where he is, and because of that, I decided to report the matter. For those who know where he is, please return my child,” he pleaded.
The missing MCA’s wife also recounted her last conversations with him, detailing his movements before he disappeared.
“He left the house around 7:00 in the morning on Tuesday, March 24, heading to the county assembly. Later in the evening, around 7:30, he called, informing me that he would not be sleeping at home because he was needed at Machakos the following day. We talked again around 10:30 PM, and when I called him on Wednesday around 9:30 AM, his phone was off,” she explained.
Moreover, Machakos MCSs have accused the county government and Governor Wavinya Ndeti of being behind his abduction, owing to his recent threat of filing an impeachment motion against her.
This comes as political tensions continue within the Machakos County Assembly emanating from a faction of MCAs recently signing an impeachment motion against Assembly Speaker Ann Kiusya.
There had been claims that around 30 MCAs had retreated to Mombasa in preparation for the impending vote scheduled for Friday.
Police are yet to issue an official statement on the matter.
