Natembeya Reportedly Goes Into Hiding After Raid on His Home

Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has reportedly become the subject of a search after his home was raided, according to a statement issued by the Linda Mwananchi group on Monday, October 19, 2026.

The group claimed that individuals who raided the governor’s residence did not find him at the property. However, the statement did not disclose Natembeya’s whereabouts or explain the circumstances surrounding the reported incident.

In a statement shared publicly, Linda Mwananchi accused the government of using intimidation to silence opposition figures who have been vocal about governance and the rule of law.

“The home of George Natembeya has also been raided in an attempt to harass him, but they did not find him!” the group stated.

Linda Mwananchi further vowed to continue speaking out against what it described as unlawful efforts to suppress opposition voices.

“We will continue to call out this regime and their unlawful attempts to silence voices of the opposition that protect and uphold the rule of law! Sisi hatununui uoga!” the statement added.

The claims come amid ongoing political disagreements between government and opposition figures, with leaders from both sides frequently clashing over governance, accountability and the treatment of political opponents.

Natembeya, who serves as the governor of Trans Nzoia County, has been an outspoken political figure, particularly on issues involving national leadership and government policies.

However, the statement from Linda Mwananchi did not provide further details about who conducted the reported raid, whether a warrant was presented, or whether any items were taken from the residence.

There was also no immediate response from the relevant authorities addressing the group’s allegations in the information provided.

The circumstances surrounding the reported raid and Natembeya’s whereabouts therefore remain unclear, pending further information from the governor, his representatives or the authorities.
