The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has rejected claims by Democratic Congress Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua that he receives intelligence from security agencies. DCI Director Mohamed Amin denied the allegations, which Gachagua made during a recent statement. The claims come amid heightened security preparations ahead of the 2027 General Election (peopledaily.digital).
Gachagua, a former Deputy President, alleged that he has access to sensitive information from security institutions. However, the DCI has not provided specific evidence to support these claims. Amin emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of national security operations, stating that such allegations could undermine public trust in the institutions (nation.africa).
The DCI’s response follows a pattern of public scrutiny surrounding the role of political figures in intelligence matters. While no further details have been released, the situation highlights ongoing tensions between political actors and security agencies in Kenya.
