Tuesday, August 18, 2026 - Police in Uasin Gishu County are holding one suspect after intercepting a suspicious Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and recovering two safe boxes containing millions of shillings in both local and foreign currency.

The vehicle was impounded and taken to Sugunanaga Police Station, where two safe boxes were recovered from within.

Upon opening the two safe boxes in the presence of Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) from Uasin Gishu County, the following items were recovered: Ksh 2.615 million and US dollar notes whose total amount is yet to be confirmed,

One suspect, identified as Grayson Buchichi Isihau, has been arrested in connection with the case.

He is currently being held as investigations continue.

Police have confirmed that the suspect will be presented before the Eldoret Law Courts upon completion of investigations.

A further follow-up report will be submitted once the CBK issues its findings on the authenticity of the recovered currencies.

Interestingly, the key suspect arrested has expressed an interest in an elective seat in the 2027 general elections.

Described by those who know him as a "sharp boy," Grayson Buchichi Isihau is said to have been actively positioning himself for an MP seat before his arrest.
