Mahakama Kuu ya Kenya imempa Raphael Tuju dhamana ya kujikinga ya KSh200,000 au kaution ya pesa sawa ili kuzuia kukamatwa na polisi wakati wa uchunguzi wa madai ya kujiteka nyara. Tuju alikamatwa Machi 23 na afya yake ilidhoofika katika kituo cha polisi cha Karen hadi kulazwa ICU katika Hospitali ya Karen. Rais William Ruto amewahutubia wapinzani wake kwa madai ya kumshawishi Tuju afanye hivyo.

Mhuru wa zamani wa Baraza la Mawaziri Raphael Tuju amepata rehema ya muda kutoka Mahakama Kuu baada ya kupewa dhamana ya kujikinga ya KSh200,000 au kaution ya pesa sawa na mdhamini mmoja, kulingana na amri ya Jaji Martin M. Muya iliyotolewa Machi 24, 2026. Amri hiyo inazuia polisi kumkamata Tuju wakati wa uchunguzi wa madai ya kuandaa kutekwa nyara kwake mwenyewe, kulingana na Mkurugenzi wa DCI Mohamed Amin. Taju alikamatwa Machi 23 baada ya kutoweka tangu Jumamosi, na gari lake kupatikana limeachwa kwenye Miotoni Lane, Karen, Nairobi. Polisi wanasema alikuwa nyumbani yake wakati wote. Afya yake ilidhoofika katika kituo cha polisi cha Karen, na kiwango cha sukari chake kushuka hadi 1.9, kulingana ni Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, ambaye alisema, “Tuliambwa tunaweza kumudu Tuju ndani ya dakika 5.” Tuju alipelekwa Hospitali ya Karen na ICU, akifuatana na Musyoka na Eugene Wamalwa wa DAP-K, waliotaja polisi kwa kumshughulikia vibaya. Rais William Ruto, akizungumza katika mkutano Migori Machi 24, aliwahutubia wapinzani kama Musyoka na Rigathi Gachagua, akisema, “Walimwambia Tuju aone na kujificha chumbani na kujifanya ametekwa nyara.” Ruto alisema Tuju anahitaji marafiki waaminifu. Tukio hili linahusishwa na mzozo wa deni na East African Development Bank (EADB) juu ya KSh1.2 bilioni iliyoongezeka hadi KSh4.5 bilioni dhidi ya Dari Limited ya Tuju.
