Juja MP George Koimburi has broken his silence weeks after he was caught in an abduction saga.
The lawmaker was admitted to The Karen Hospital, where he was taken after being found dumped in a coffee plantation in Kiambu County.
He was reportedly taken ill with an inability to speak after allegedly being made to sniff in harmful chemicals.
The lawmaker spoke on Saturday, June 7, weeks after the incident.
Acknowledging that abductions were indeed happening in the country, the lawmaker called on the state to round up the perpetrators who are in the midst of the civilians.

He seemed to employ lenience at the state, despite his allies' strong accusations against the state operatives.
"I curse this act perpetrated against me. I want to ask Kenyans to continue praying for our country and our government. I also would wish to plead with the government to look into these abductions because goons have infiltrated our circles and are disappearing people, having witnessed it myself. I pray that the government enforces peace in the republic," said Koimburi.

At the same time, Koimburi recalled the events that preceded his disappearance.
Seeming to dispute the assertion that he staged his abduction, the lawmaker explained that he had just attended a service at Full Gospel Church when he was picked.
He said he was drugged, tortured and left helpless on a farm.
Koimburi steered clear of the accusations by the police of faking his missingness for political ends.
"It has been two weeks of difficulty, which I won't forget. It was May 25, 2025, at the Full Gospel Churches of Kenya, where I was coming from when the goons intercepted me and blindfolded me. They then drugged me, and the following day, I was abandoned on a coffee farm. It was a boda boda rider who informed my family, who rescued me and brought me to the hospital," he recalled.
He expressed gratitude to his friends and doctors for helping him get out of the situation he was in.
Koimburi's statement came days after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss Mohamed Amin and Police Inspector General Douglas Kanja dismissed the abduction claims.
According to police, the MP was driven to the hospital using his own vehicle.
Attempts to question the hospital where the MP received first aid also proved futile.
Kanja added that detectives were denied access to the MP, who he stated would be questioned when they get the opportunity.
Earlier, police had dismissed reports that they were responsible for the abduction.
