DCI challenges Gachagua to provide evidence over abductions and killings claims

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has dismissed a series of accusations levelled against its boss, Amin Mohamed, by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, describing them as ridiculous, ill-intended and wholly without foundation. In a statement released on Tuesday evening, the DCI called on the DCP Party leader to "produce credible evidence rather than peddle unverified claims calculated to undermine public confidence in law enforcement". "The DCI categorically states that it does not sanction, facilitate, conceal, or participate in criminal conduct of any kind, regardless of the identity or status of any person involved. The DCI remains a professional investigative agency mandated by law to investigate serious and complex crimes, gather evidence, and present cases to the relevant prosecutorial and judicial authorities. Its officers continue to discharge these responsibilities strictly in accordance with the Constitution, relevant laws, and established investigative procedures," the statement reads.
