According to a charge sheet shared by his lawyers, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has approved the charges against the former minister, paving the way for his arraignment in court.
The charge alleges that on March 21, 2026, at Entim Sidai Spa & Wellness Sanctuary in Karen, within Lang’ata Sub-county, Tuju informed a police officer attached to Karen Police Station that he had been trailed by unknown assailants and subsequently abducted.
Prosecutors claim that the information was false, that Tuju knew it to be untrue at the time, and that he intended for it to be acted upon by the officer.
The development comes in the wake of Tuju’s recent disappearance, which had sparked concern among his family and the public, with a case even filed in court seeking to compel security agencies to account for his whereabouts.
He yesterday resurfaced, stating that he had been in hiding, a claim that now forms the basis of the charge that he misled authorities.
