Members of the Luo Community and the family of Hon. Raphael Tuju are now demanding that government avails him.
In an official press statement by Luo Community Nation Union following the disapearance of Tuju, the members led by Coordinator Philosopher Dr Odhiambo Swa Makaduol, the National Coordinator,
Luo Community Development (LUCODE) Society Worldwide Union, they stated that they will not sit down and watch as the son of Luo Nation remains untraced.
They argued that the Constitution is very clear on protection of the life of every citizen under Articles 10, 27, 48, 50 and 258.
“On behalf of Luo Community Nation and the Family of Raphael Tuju, we are Demanding the immediate release of Hon Raphael Tuju because the Constitution is very clear about protection of the life of every citizen under Articles 10,27,48,50, and 258 having power to defend the fundamental rights and freedoms of each citizen,” they stated.
Dr. Makaduol is demanding from President William Ruto to command his Security forces to let Raphael Tuju former Minister of the Government of Kenya resurface a safe person.
He pointed out that, Everyone as a citizen has full right and freedom to have say for protection of his property, life, and enjoyment of freedom to use his property.
According to Dr. Odhiambo Makaduol, those people frustrating Raphael Tuju to surrender his property arbitrarily must be cautioned that Luo Community Nation is awake for the protection of life and property of Raphael Tuju and his family as Raphael Tuju is an investment and development of Luo Nation.
The members of the Luo Nation warned that if something bad happens to Tuju, then the community will go for anyone who has been threatening life of Tuju.
“We are making warning stand as Luo Nation that if anything bad happen to Raphael Tuju, we are coming over to everyone who has been threatening life of Raphael Tuju because the Constitution gives us power as a sovereign people’s justice for our people to defend our people with their investment as part of constitutional defence for affected citizens like Raphael Tuju,” he said.
The Luo Nation now calling on DCI to bring back Raphael Tuju either in Court or as a free citizen adding that they are not going to sit back as a nation to watch arbitrary abductions attacking citizens Scott free.
That President William Ruto must take caution that he has relaxed his security protection to citizens that abductions recurring in Kenya is finishing investments and making foreign investors pulling out of Kenya and it is a national security threat that should not be taken lightly in this country since President William Ruto took over power.
The members wondered whether it is part of state capture to silence politicians and political actors to force people back or support president William Ruto’s political scheme.
They warned Kenyans not to be forced to follow blindly what the government is doing blindly.
“However we the Luo Nation wants Hon Raphael Tuju a live with immediate release,” stated Dr. Odhiambo Makaduol.
They demand that Tuju’s abductors be brought to book and justice prevail for Raphael Tuju and his family and now the Luo Nation because he is part and parcel of the Luo Nation.
Efforts to reach former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju have so far been unsuccessful, with his mobile phone switched off, police said Monday as investigations into his reported disappearance intensified.
In a statement, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said Tuju was reported missing by his family on Sunday at Karen Police Station after his vehicle was found abandoned in Nairobi’s Karen suburb.
Lawyer and legislator Otiende Amollo said Tuju’s legal team was working to establish his whereabouts while pressing authorities for answers.
Tuju’s reported disappearance comes amid a prolonged legal dispute over the ownership and planned auction of Dari Business Park in Karen.
On March 18, the Commercial Court declined to grant temporary orders sought by Tuju to block the auction, directing that the case be heard on a priority basis.
Justice Moses Ado ruled that the application could not be granted without hearing the respondents and scheduled the matter for April 7.
