According to the family, Kamande went missing in 2016, and at the time, he was suffering from cerebral malaria.

"He had cerebral malaria at the time he disappeared. We've received sightings of him in various parts of Nairobi over the years, but we haven't been able to find him yet," said his niece Regina Mwaura.

"I've been following all your posts and videos closely, hoping to spot him in one of them," she told Nairobi county executive Geoffrey Mosiria.

How does Kamande look?

For anyone who may meet him or has met him before, and can share information, Kamande was a man in his late 30s when he went missing. He was about 6ft tall, dark-skinned, and had a slight bald head (kipara).

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, one of Kamande's sisters said that they had been looking into all the leads they have and will be coming together to look into the new leads that have been circulating on social media.

"We have been fine just keeping strong and hoping that God will one day answer our prayers. Our mother is still alive and doing fine as well, hoping for the day he will come back home," she said.

Any help you could offer or any information you might come across would be a true blessing. You can reach the family on 0723530843; Mary Mwaura, or 0724532475; Janet Wambui, his sisters.

Another story revealed that a father who was happy after being told that his son had finally been found sadly learnt he was dead, and burying him was not going to be easy.

According to the father, the hospital was giving him a hard time, asking him to prove he is the boy's dad, as he was brought in by good Samaritans.

The dad appealed for help from well-wishers, as the mortuary bill was mounting by the day, which was not going to be easy for them.
