Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba has once again put the spotlight on the stalled investigations into the discovery of dozens of female bodies at the Kware dumpsite in Embakasi, Nairobi County, in 2024.

Taking her frustrations to X on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, the legislator has accused security agencies and parliamentary leadership of offering “flimsy” answers and sidelining women’s voices in the search for justice.

Her public protest in Parliament, which resulted in a 20-day suspension, underlines how the case has become a flashpoint for public anger over policing, accountability and the protection of women.

”It has been a desperate ask, who killed 42 women and dumped their bodies in Kware Dumpsite in Embakassi in July 2023. I asked this question in Parliament and was eventually kicked out of chambers for 20 days without pay by the SPEAKER for refusing to accept the flimsy answer given,” Gathoni Wamuchomba said.

“To date, no concrete answer has come by. There are 47 women MPs representing women in parliament, and none has joined me in the quest ~ maybe it’s not fashionable to ask. In 2027, could we try male MPs to represent women and see if there will be a better turnaround on such matters? Just a proposal,” she added.

Facts and timeline

The first major reporting on the Kware dumpsite began in mid-July 2024, when police and media reported the recovery of multiple female bodies from an abandoned quarry/dumpsite in the Mukuru/Kware area of Nairobi. Authorities later said a prime suspect had confessed to murdering dozens of women and dumping their remains at the site.

Public reporting also recorded a separate but related outrage when the prime suspect, identified in reports as Collins/Collins Jumaisi Khalusha (name variants in some outlets), escaped police custody in August 2024, a development that intensified criticism of law-enforcement handling of the case.

Human rights groups and civic bodies called for full, transparent investigations and criticised delays and gaps in official responses. The Kenya Human Rights Commission, police oversight groups and civic forums urged authorities to allow independent forensic work and to ensure victims’ families receive timely information.

Beyond the immediate horror of the murders and the escape of a suspect, the Kware case exposes several recurring problems flagged by activists and media. Meanwhile, the Kware killings main person of interest, who broke out of a Nairobi police cell, is still at large, as detectives seek his whereabouts from the public.
