The body of ex-treasury official Tom Osiende Mokaya who went missing on Sunday, June 18, 2023, has been found.
Confirming the incident, police say Tom Mokaya’s decomposing body was found in river Kuja in Migori.
Tom is reported to have gone missing a few days before his vehicle – a land cruiser V8 – whose number plate had been removed, was found abandoned in Kilgoris, Transmara.
At the time, he was travelling from his home in Ngata farm, Nakuru en route to Kisii.
The vehicle was found by police officers on Thursday, June 22, 2023, in the afternoon following a tipoff from the public and was positively identified by the deceased son Stephen Mokaya.
“Stephen Mokaya, who is Mokaya’s son identified that the vehicle belongs to his father,” the Transmara sub-county commander said noting that it was vandalised, with the battery and radio missing.
Until his demise, Tom Mokaya was a businessman and left the Treasury in 2010.
The deceased was a brother of the late Ambassador Keny Nyaucho Osinde.
