Family pleads for answers two months after Wajir Huduma Centre manager went missing
Hussein, remembered by colleagues as a man of integrity, humility, and commitment to public service, was last seen in June. Since then, there has been no trace of him, and his family’s search has yielded no answers.
The family of Hussein Abdirahman, the Huduma Centre manager in Wajir who went missing nearly two months ago, is pleading with the government to intervene, saying his disappearance has left them in anguish and without answers.
Relatives say his absence has devastated not only his immediate family but also the wider community in Isiolo, where he was regarded as a brother and son. He was a resident of Isiolo County.

His family, including his sister Katra Abdirahman, says the situation has taken an emotional toll on Hussein’s wife, children, and extended relatives.
Hussein’s elderly mother, who is over 70 years old, has been struggling with the uncertainty, while his children have reportedly dropped out of school and face difficulties accessing basic needs.
"Since he disappeared, our family has been in pain. We have searched everywhere. We have asked the government, but we have not received any answer," said Katra.
Hussein, remembered by colleagues as a man of integrity, humility, and commitment to public service, was last seen in June. Since then, there has been no trace of him, and his family’s search has yielded no answers.
"Hussein was not just a public servant at the Huduma Centre. He was a man of integrity, dedicated to serving the people with honesty, humility, and commitment. Since his disappearance, his family, friends, and colleagues have been living with pain, fear, and uncertainty," they said.
“We stand together to affirm that Hussein’s life and service matter. His absence has left a wound that cannot be ignored, and we urge the authorities to act with urgency and bring our brother back to us."
The Ajuran Professionals Association, a regional lobby representing professionals from the Ajuran community, spoke out strongly against what they described as ‘unacceptable silence’ from government authorities.
The association’s Vice Chairperson, Shamim Abdulahi Maalim, demanded urgent action and transparency from the state.
“We are extremely alarmed by the mysterious disappearance of Hussein. As professionals from the Ajuran community, we cannot sit back while one of our own vanishes without a trace and without a word from the government,” said Shamim.
There is rising concern among local communities that enforced disappearances and unlawful detentions are becoming more frequent in northern Kenya, particularly in border counties prone to security operations and counterterrorism activities.
