Matiang’i Leaves DCI Headquarters After Six Hours of Grilling

Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has been released from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters after hours of grilling.

Matiang’i presented himself at DCI offices on Tuesday morning in the company of a battery of lawyers for questioning over the alleged police raid of his Karen home on February 9th.

After spending more than six hours at DCI offices, the former cabinet secretary was allowed to leave on the condition that he avails himself if summoned again, his lawyer Senator Okong’o Omogeni told reporters.

“They have released Matiang’i and told him they’ll summon him again on a need basis,” Omogeni said.

Matiang’i had been summoned to appear before detective Michael Sang for questioning without fail.

The DCI intends to charge Matiang’i with conspiracy to commit a felony and publication of false information contrary to Section 23 of the Computer Misuse and Cyber Crimes Act of 2018.

“On February 8, 2023, at Karen Ngong View Estate within Nairobi County in the Republic of Kenya with intent to cause panic, chaos or violence amongst citizens of Kenya jointly with others published in the media that your house had been raided by a battalion and or “garrison” of officers intending to arrest you, a fact you knew to be false,” the charge sheet prepared by Chief Inspector of Police Maurice Shiraho reads in part.
