Anxiety continues to grow over the disappearance
of Hussein, also known as Hussein Moi, the Wajir Huduma Center Manager, who was
last seen on Tuesday, 8th July 2025, around 10 AM in Wajir town. He has been
missing ever since.
On Thursday, Eldas MP Adan Keynan urged Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to provide a detailed and time-bound update on the investigation into Hussein’s disappearance.
This appeal came a
day after Hussein’s family pleaded with the government to ensure his safe
return, highlighting the profound emotional distress caused by his absence.
In a letter dated 30th July addressed to the IG, Keynan requested answers to several pressing questions regarding the ongoing investigation.
He expressed concern that the lack of visible
institutional response from relevant government agencies has heightened public
unease and eroded trust in the process.
Keynan asked about the verified circumstances and timeline surrounding Hussein’s disappearance and whether any preliminary findings have been made more than three weeks after the incident.
He sought
information on whether investigative authorities have collected and analyzed
surveillance footage, forensic evidence, mobile phone tracking data, or
eyewitness accounts to reconstruct Hussein’s last known movements.
He also inquired if any suspects have been identified, questioned, detained, or placed under surveillance, and what progress has resulted from these actions.
Keynan expressed disappointment over
the absence of formal communication or public updates from the investigative
agencies, despite the case’s national significance and public interest.
Stressing the importance of accountability,
Keynan asked if an inter-agency task force involving Huduma Kenya, the Public
Service Commission, the IG’s office, and other security agencies has been
formed to coordinate the investigation and ensure institutional responsibility.
He further questioned what measures the IG’s
office has taken to reassure civil servants working in remote and fragile
regions that their safety and constitutional rights are protected, and that the
State will act decisively to safeguard its officers.
Keynan concluded by calling for transparency
on long-term reforms aimed at preventing similar incidents and strengthening
mechanisms to track, report, and respond to security threats against public
servants.
Despite a formal missing person’s report and ongoing efforts by law enforcement, family, friends, and the local community, no credible leads or substantive updates have emerged.
No communication has
been received from Hussein or officials since his disappearance over three
weeks ago.
Public calls for accountability continue to
intensify, with civil society, media, and community leaders demanding answers.
This disappearance follows the case of
Dela/Anole ward representative Yussuf Hassan, who was abducted last September
but confirmed alive in March, underscoring ongoing security concerns in the
region.
Instant
analysis
The disappearance of Hussein Moi, Wajir Huduma Center Manager, highlights critical gaps in security and institutional responsiveness in fragile regions.
Despite the filing of a missing person’s report and ongoing investigations, the absence of clear communication and credible leads undermines public trust and raises concerns about the safety of public servants.
MP Adan Keynan’s call for transparency and inter-agency coordination underscores the urgent need for strengthened accountability and protective measures for government officials working in vulnerable areas.
This case, coming shortly after a similar abduction in the
region, points to persistent security challenges that demand decisive state
action and long-term reforms.
