Investigations into the alleged abduction of Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburi are still incomplete, the Milimani Law Courts heard on Tuesday.
This as the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) continues to analyse mobile phones and other electronic devices seized from the suspects.
Appearing before Magistrate Mark Ekhubi, the prosecution said the gadgets were submitted to the DCI headquarters and forensic laboratory, and the data extraction process is still underway. The full analysis is expected to take up to 21 days.
“The electronic devices were taken to the DCI forensic labs, and the extraction is ongoing. We anticipate releasing the items within 21 days,” the prosecution told the court.
The five accused, MP George Koimburi, Peter Kiratu, David Macharia Gatana, Cyrus Kieru Muhia, and Murang’a MCA Grace Nduta Wairimu, were present in court, each represented by counsel.
The defence confirmed partial receipt of prosecution evidence and consented to the proposed 21-day timeline for full disclosure of the remaining material.
The court was also informed that discussions between the parties had yielded consensus on the release of motor vehicles seized during the investigation.
The agreement allows for their return within seven days unless the investigating officers raise objections.
Magistrate Ekhubi welcomed the cooperation between the prosecution and defence, noting that it was aiding in the smooth handling of the case.
He scheduled the matter for mention on September 10, 2025, to review the status of evidence disclosure and the return of both electronic devices and vehicles.
