Billian Ojiwa, Kanu Youth Congress chairman and Mathare community mobiliser who has been missing since Sunday, has been found alive and safe.
His wife Nerima Wako, in a Facebook post on Tuesday, said Mr Ojiwa has been found safe.
Mrs Ojiwa, the CEO of Siasa Place and a columnist with The East African, shared the good news on her Facebook page.
“We found Billian thank you so much,” she wrote.
Mr Joseph Towett, the Kanu national executive director had earlier said: “The information we have is that Billian is in touch with the family members and the same has been reported to the police and therefore we’d give police time to find out the circumstances that came out of that social media circulation.”
Mr Ojiwa is said to have told his friends that he went to the Retreat Centre in Karen to “cool off”.
The politician, who unsuccessfully ran for the Mathare parliamentary seat in 2013, is best known for the Ficha Uchi Initiative, a programme he founded that gives school uniforms to needy children.
Earlier, his wife said that she was with him at her parent’s house on Sunday when he stepped out at around noon.
Kenyans had taken to twitter to express outrage over his disappearance.
Mrs Ojiwa said he walked out without carrying most of his possessions.
Mr Ojiwa’s disappearance was a trending topic on Twitter on Tuesday morning, with concerned Kenyans sharing the news of his disappearance through #FindBillianOjiwa.
