What you need to know:

  • JM, increasingly stressed at the turn of events, was advised by his doctor to take a few days rest away from public limelight.
  • A friend advised JM that he was secretly followed and his phone monitored, therefore he should not travel to Mombasa.

On this day 43 years ago, someone who only identified himself as “Israeli businessman” telephoned the third wife of Nyandarua North MP JM Kariuki.

The MP had gone missing 10 days earlier.
