Muthwani Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA), Dominic Maitha, has been reported missing since Monday, March 24, 2025. According to his wife, Juliet Ngare, Maitha left for the Machakos County Assembly that morning, passing through their rural home in Kaloleni, Machakos Sub-county, but did not return home as expected.
Ngare last spoke with him around 10:30 pm that evening, when he assured her he would spend the night in the village. However, subsequent attempts to reach him on his three mobile phones have been unsuccessful, as all have been switched off. Concerned family members reported his disappearance to the Machakos police station on Tuesday, March 25.
The disappearance has caused an uproar among relatives, supporters, and political leaders, who are urging authorities to expedite efforts to locate him. Kinanie MCA Francis Kavyu and Mbiuni MCA Peter Kilonzo have called for Maitha’s immediate release, alleging that the county government and Governor Wavinya Ndeti may be involved due to Maitha’s recent threats to initiate an impeachment motion against her.
The Machakos County Assembly has been experiencing heightened political tensions, with a faction of MCAs recently signing an impeachment motion against Assembly Speaker Ann Kiusya. Maitha’s disappearance has intensified concerns about the political climate in the county.
Authorities are actively investigating the matter, and the public is urged to provide any information that could assist in locating Dominic Maitha.
