IEBC said the matter was reported to the police who are working with his family members to establish his whereabouts.

Musando’s wife, Elva Else Auma Buyu, had filed a missing person report at the Embakasi Police Station informing police that his three phones went unanswered.

The Police later discovered a vehicle believed to belong to the missing ICT deputy director.

This was after a twitter user posted pictures of a sports utility vehicle purportedly parked at a flat in Roysambu, behind the Thika Road Mall on the Thika Superhighway.

Along with the photos posted, the woman wrote: “So Musando is somewhere in Roysambu having a good time and they reported him missing.”

“Uncle ako poa,” she added.

The grey Land Rover Discovery was towed to Kasarani Police Station.

Nairobi County Police Commander Japhet Koome said the vehicle was in the early hours of Monday morning, dusted for fingerprints. He said the police were trying to establish a timeline to trace the ICT deputy director’s movement.

“It is hard for us at this point to tell whether he is safe or not, but we hope for the best,” said Mr. Koome.

“We will let you know of any development”.

Chris Musando was one of the few people with knowledge of the whereabouts of the IEBC servers. He had also reported a number of death threats to Central police station.
