Missing Embu County Assembly Speaker Kariuki Mate was on Friday morning dumped alive in Lumuru. He was later rushed to the Aga Khan Hospital, Nairobi where he is receiving treatment.

"The occupants of the canter say he flagged them down while looking drunk but smart and told them he was the missing speaker before they helped him to Gigiri police station.

Police say they will interrogate him later
