The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has responded to allegations by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who accused the agency of concealing high-profile murder cases. In a statement released on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, the DCI denied the claims, asserting that it had actively pursued several murder investigations. The agency emphasized its commitment to transparency and justice, stating that detectives had taken appropriate action in the cases in question.
Gachagua’s accusations came amid growing public scrutiny of the DCI’s handling of high-profile crimes. The former deputy president alleged that the agency had failed to adequately investigate certain cases, potentially allowing perpetrators to evade accountability. The DCI, however, maintained that it had not hidden any cases and had instead worked diligently to bring offenders to justice.
The statement from the DCI follows a series of public criticisms against the agency, with some lawmakers and activists calling for greater oversight. While the DCI has not provided specific details on the cases in question, it has reiterated its dedication to upholding the rule of law. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between political figures and law enforcement in the country. (peopledaily.Digital)
