What you need to know:

  • There is no national database for missing persons in Kenya.
  • However, each police station keeps a register of those who have vanished in their jurisdiction.

Once a person goes missing, the family has to report to the nearest police station immediately, says Police spokesman Charles Owino.

This is after the family has confirmed that the person is actually missing by checking with relatives and friends.
