Former Cabinet Minister Raphael Tuju has this morning moved back to his disputed Dari Business Centre and has vowed to fight for his property.
Tuju, who last weekend met with his relatives and pointed out two sites for his burial, stormed the facility in the morning to re-open it for business.
Tuju said he will from today reside at the facility and will not move from the premises following the recent High Court orders.
“I am back at the facility, and we are cleaning up the premises. My tenants have incurred huge losses, and it’s time to have the place operational,” he said.
Tuju recently wrote to the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja seeking his intervention over the continued occupation of his business premises by the police.
In his letter dated April 13, 2026, Tuju sought the intervention of Kanja for the removal of the officers at the premises and to allow the tenants to access the facility and reduce huge losses being incurred.
He said the recent High Court order directed “that pending the hearing and determination of this application, there shall be an order preserving the substratum of the dispute, and accordingly, there shall be no sale, transfer, assignment, alienation, charge, lease, disposal, or in any manner whatsoever dealing with the title and/or ownership of the suit property until further orders of the court.”
Tuju said it was wrong for the police to continue occupying his premises without any court order or documents, and businesses in the facility continue to suffer huge losses.
The former CS said businesses in the premises continue to incur huge losses as they cannot access the facility, and it hosts 24 tenants, including Tamarind Hotel.
Tuju recently went missing after he claimed he was being followed by unknown people. The police later arrested him for giving wrong information.
He developed medical complications and was admitted to Karen Hospital.
Tuju was recently charged in Kibera court and was released on bail of Sh 100,000, and the court directed the OCS of Karen Police Station to provide him with a P3 form.
