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.

Nairobi police boss Benson Kibue says the speaker was initially found in Limuru near St Paul's University while unconscious and taken to the police station by a canter that was transporting sweet potatoes to Nairobi. "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
