📋 Breaking It Down

For twenty years, Thomas Kipkorir Kirui, has been missing and his family members have searched for him in all possible places without success.

Kirui, a resident of Suswondo village in Kitoben location, Singorwet ward of Bomet Central constituency in Bomet county, was last seen by his elder brother in November 2006, at Irongo area in Kuresoi South constituency, Nakuru county.

The family members have searched for him in police stations, prisons, hospitals and mortuaries whenever an announcement is made for a planned mass burial, in vain.

“We have searched for him in all the places we thought we could find him, often following false leads, but my younger brother seems to have disappeared without a trace at least not by now” Benard Kirui, the elder brother to the missing man, said.

Mr Kirui said in an interview on Monday that the family has not given up in the search and has put up posters in trading centres where he had worked or had been spotted previously, including Kiptagich and Irongo in Kuresoi, Nakuru county, in the hope they will get leads that enable them reconnect with his lost brother.

“I last met my brother at Irongo in Kuresoi in November 2006, at Irongo in Kuresoi, Nakuru county as I headed home (Bomet) from Mauche in Njoro constituency. He promised to come home, but we have not seen nor heard from him since then,” Mr Kirui said.
