Speaking during a press briefing on Thursday, April 2, 2026, outside his Dari Business Park premises in Karen, Nairobi, Tuju accused the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and a lawyer of being behind the vehicles that he claimed were following him.
Tuju said he felt compelled to publicly address the matter after what he described as a pattern of intimidation and unexplained monitoring.
“I’m forced to name two individuals who are behind the two vehicles that were trailing me,” he said during the briefing.
The former Cabinet Secretary revealed that he had already filed a formal complaint against the lawyer on January 5, 2026, and submitted documents he said contained evidence and court records related to the matter.
However, Tuju questioned why investigators had not taken action on the information he had provided.
“It has now been three months since I submitted the evidence and court records to the authorities. Why have they not found time to interrogate the lawyer or the witnesses I listed?” he asked.
Tuju also challenged investigators to take action if they believed the information he provided was false.
“If what I submitted to the DCI is false information, why have they not charged me with giving false information?” he posed.
According to Tuju, the situation escalated on the night of March 21, 2026, when he allegedly noticed a vehicle without number plates trailing him.
He further claimed that some police vehicles involved in what he described as a night raid also lacked registration plates, raising concerns about their identity.
The former Jubilee Party Secretary-General said the incident left him questioning the motives behind the alleged surveillance.
Tuju suggested that the actions could be part of a wider effort to intimidate him amid ongoing legal and political disputes.
During the briefing, Tuju also revealed that one of his associates, Steve Mwanga, had been arrested and was being detained without police bond.
According to Tuju, Mwanga had not been formally charged despite being held by authorities.
“They have refused to give him a police bond, and he has not been charged,” he said, adding that the move appeared intended to pressure him.
Tuju argued that the arrest raised concerns about due process and the use of law enforcement agencies in what he described as a broader campaign of intimidation.
The former Cabinet Secretary also spoke about his health, noting that he continues to experience pain from a back injury he sustained earlier.
Tuju said the injury required a delicate medical procedure in which screws were inserted in his back, and he may need further medical review abroad.
“I may have to travel to the United Kingdom for a review because I still experience pain. The operation on my back was very sensitive,” he said.
Tuju urged investigative agencies to clarify their actions and address the issues he raised, insisting that any investigations involving him should follow due process and transparency.
He maintained that he would continue speaking out on the matter until the concerns surrounding the alleged surveillance and the detention of his associate are resolved.
