A family in deep distress is pleading for urgent public and governmental support after the unexplained disappearance of their relative, a staff member at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), whose whereabouts remain unknown weeks after he was last seen.
The Disappearance
The missing individual, identified as an employee of KMTC, reportedly left his place of work on the evening of [exact date withheld], and failed to return home. According to the family’s account, he left the college campus as usual but never checked in, and his phone has been unreachable since. Security checks at his residence showed all his personal documents and work uniform left intact — prompting growing fears that his disappearance is neither voluntary nor ordinary.
Family members filed a missing-person report at the local police station shortly after his disappearance and have since scoured hospitals, mortuaries and police records across neighbouring counties but have found zero credible leads. They now say the silence and lack of information from security agencies are deeply disturbing.
Family’s Plea for Answers
In a press statement, the family expressed mounting frustration and anguish: “He was a reliable, dedicated employee of KMTC and a loving father. His vanishing has shattered our peace,” one relative said. They are calling on the office of the Inspector General of Police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to step in and treat the case as a priority.
The family pointed out that he had no known conflicts at work or home, making the circumstances of his disappearance all the more puzzling. They further implore anyone with information about his last known movements, vehicle sightings, or phone activity to come forward immediately.
Why This Case Raises Alarms
- Suspicious nature of disappearance: The employee vanished without any prior indication, left behind personal effects, and has not used his mobile phone — all red flags in missing-persons investigations.
- Potential institutional concern: Given his role at a government-affiliated institution (KMTC), and the subsequent lack of official updates, observers say the case risks being swept under the carpet unless authorities treat it with urgency.
- Broader pattern of missing persons: The incident echoes a concerning national trend of unexplained disappearances and delayed responses from law enforcement — contributing to public mistrust in the justice system.
- Human impact: Beyond statistics, this case represents lives in limbo, a family under strain, and a workforce shaken by uncertainty about the safety of employees.
What Needs to Happen Now
- The DCI and local police must publish a clear timeline of the missing employee’s last confirmed whereabouts, phone and vehicle tracking steps, and any leads under investigation.
- The KMTC administration should cooperate fully by releasing relevant CCTV footage, leave records, and any security log entries for the day in question.
- Media and civil-society groups should amplify the case to ensure it receives the broader public attention needed to trigger a prompt response.
- The public is encouraged to share any credible information — however small — that could assist authorities in locating the missing individual.
