Raphael Tuju has stated that he should be buried within forty eight hours if he dies while in the hands of state operatives. He made the remarks amid growing concerns about his safety and treatment following his recent arrest.
Tuju issued the directive while addressing the media, expressing fears over his wellbeing during ongoing legal proceedings. He claimed that recent events surrounding his arrest raised serious questions about his personal security and health condition.
He added that no state officer shuld attend his funeral saying they normally pretend to be with him but they just hypocritical.
He insisted that his family and legal team should act swiftly to honour his wishes if such a situation arises. Tuju emphasized that the request reflects his concerns about transparency and accountability in handling sensitive cases.
The former Cabinet Secretary has recently faced charges related to giving false information to a public officer. He has denied the allegations and continues to challenge the case through legal channels.
Tuju also claimed that officers manhandled him during the arrest, worsening existing medical conditions affecting his spine and limbs. He stated that he remains on medication and experiences difficulty sitting for extended periods.
His legal team has raised concerns about the manner in which the arrest was conducted and its impact. They argue that the alleged treatment could have serious implications on his health if not addressed promptly.
The statement has triggered reactions among political leaders and observers who are closely monitoring the developments. Some have called for investigations into the allegations to ensure accountability and protect individual rights.
Authorities have not issued a detailed response to Tuju’s claims as investigations and court proceedings continue. The case remains active as both legal and health concerns surrounding the former minister draw public attention.
