Mathira member of parliament (MP) Eric Wamumbi has urged the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to investigate alleged fake abductions at Olive Gardens Hotel, linked to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

In a letter to DCI Director Mohamed Amin on Monday January 6, 2025, Wamumbi claimed the hotel is being used to stage fake abductions to incite unrest.

“I have information that meetings are being held where youths feign abductions and are held incommundo by the chief architect, Gachagua himself,” he said.

Wamumbi also criticized Gachagua for attacking Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja.

“Gachagua should stop attacking kanja. He is a professional police officer out to maintain law and order,” said Wamumbi.

At the same time, the MP expressed sympathy for parents dealing with the difficult issue of missing children, as he warned against groups seeking to spread misinformation or incite conflict among Kenyans.

This comes as public concern over abductions grows. The National Police Service (NPS) recently reported the safe return of four missing individuals, including Billy Mwangi and Rony Kiplagat.
