Kisii-based Clinical Officer Cliff Momanyi.
A Kisii-based clinical officer, who went missing after testifying in the ongoing murder case against Migori Governor Okoth Obado at the Milimani Law Courts on Wednesday, has been found.
Mr Cliff Momanyi, who works at Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital, testified in the case in which Governor Obado and others are accused of murdering Rongo University student Sharon Otieno.
Mr Momanyi’s wife Mary Kimaiga, on Thursday told Nation.Africa that her husband, who left home on Tuesday for a work-related trip in Nairobi, had not returned home.

While testifying, Mr Momanyi narrated how he faked medical records for Mr Obado's co-accused and personal assistant Michael Oyamo.
He presented copies of the forged medical records in court.
After being found yesterday, Mr Cliff Momanyi, who works at Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital, said his life is in danger and demanded he be put under witness protection.
Through his advocate, family and colleagues, he said he feels threatened given the weighty evidence he gave in court.
His family said that after leaving Nairobi for his home in Kisii on Wednesday, the clinical officer switched off his phone because he did not want his whereabouts to be known. This is because he feared for his life.
