Juja MP George Koimburi charged with staging abduction

Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburi was Wednesday charged with orchestrating his abduction.

At the Milimani Law Courts, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), represented by Prosecution Counsel Victor Owiti and Nora Achieng, informed the court that the lawmaker had staged the abduction to avoid arrest and arraignment at Kiambu Law Courts, where he was scheduled to face four counts related to land fraud.

The court heard that Koimburi conspired to defeat justice in Mugutha area, Juja Sub-County, Kiambu County, on 25th May 2025.

Additionally, the MP faces a separate charge of publishing false information.

On 7th June 2025, at Karen Hospital, Prosecution told the court that Koimburi issued a press statement via YouTube claiming he had been abducted and tortured by criminals, arguing that the statement was purportedly false and intended to cause panic to the public.

Koimburi pleaded not guilty before Senior Principal Magistrate Ben Mark Ekhubi.

He was released on a cash bail of Ksh 300,000 with three contact persons.

The case is scheduled for mention on 5th August 2025 for further directions.
