Owalo, who is also seen as a potential contender in the 2027 presidential race, called on the Inspector General of Police to take charge of the situation.
He said all police units and investigative bodies should be directed to begin thorough and fast investigations into Tuju’s disappearance.
“I am deeply concerned by reports that Hon. Raphael Tuju went missing yesterday evening,” Owalo said.
“I respectfully call upon the Inspector General of the National Police Service to urgently direct all relevant police formations and investigative agencies to commence speedy, thorough, and coordinated investigations into this matter, and urgently update the Kenyan public.”
His statement reflects the growing anxiety surrounding the case, which has attracted national attention.
Many leaders across different political sides are now demanding answers, saying the public has a right to know what happened.
Owalo emphasized the importance of transparency, noting that timely updates from authorities would help reduce speculation and fear.
He warned that silence or delays in communication could create confusion and weaken public confidence in security institutions.
The reported disappearance of Tuju has sparked debate across the country, with many Kenyans expressing concern about safety and accountability.
As a well-known political figure, Tuju’s situation has drawn more attention, with calls for a clear explanation growing louder.
Observers say Owalo’s remarks highlight the seriousness of the matter and the need for a professional investigation.
They point out that cases involving missing persons must be handled carefully, with all possible leads followed and evidence properly examined.
So far, there has been no detailed official statement explaining Tuju’s whereabouts, leaving many questions unanswered.
This has only increased pressure on authorities to act swiftly and provide reliable information.
