The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) denied summoning former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. DCI boss Mohammed Amin dismissed reports linking Gachagua to an official summon. “It is not true that we summoned Gachagua,” he said at a press briefing.

Amin clarified that no one stands above the law. He noted that Gachagua enjoys no immunity and could face investigation if found responsible. The DCI is investigating the chaos that erupted during the June 25 protests. Peaceful demonstrations turned violent in several parts of the country.

Amin said armed criminals infiltrated the protests. They looted shops, attacked police stations, and stole firearms. Some used the stolen guns to commit robbery and murder.

Police have arrested 485 suspects. They have already charged 448 in court. The charges include arson, robbery with violence, murder, and gang rape. Investigators are still identifying key organisers and funders.

Amin said detectives are working around the clock. He warned that anyone linked to the crimes will face prosecution. and urged leaders to stop issuing inciting remarks. He also warned Kenyans against spreading false claims.

Despite public speculation, the DCI has not summoned or questioned Gachagua. Amin said they will act if they find evidence linking him to the violence. Security agencies have pledged to arrest and charge all those involved.

For now, Gachagua remains free. However, the DCI has not ruled out future action. Investigators will continue working until they bring all suspects to justice.
