Tom is the brother of the late Ken Osinde who served as the chief of Staff at the office of Deputy President during President William Ruto’s era. He passed away in December 2021.
The latest developments come a day after police officers in Nakuru arrested two suspects concerning Osinde’s disappearance.
The two suspects, according to Rongai DCI head Donnata Atiemo, are workers at Osinde’s home in Ngata, Nakuru County.
One of the suspects is Osinde’s personal driver. He reportedly drove the ex-treasury official’s car in his village in Nyamira and to the place it was found dumped and vandalized on the roadside in Kilgoris.
He is also said to have driven the Toyota V8 Vehicle to a car wash in Osinde’s village in Nyansiongo the day after he went missing.
