Bishops drawn from the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Nyanza branch have demanded the immediate disbandment of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) unit.

Speaking at the ACK St.

Stephen's Cathedral in Kisumu, the bishops, led by their Chairman, Dr David Kodia, alleged that leaders at the DCI are misusing the office and not living up to their mandate. ''The time has come for a body like the DCI should be faced out.

It has become a dreaded unit used by those in power to harass Kenyans,'' Kodia said while reading a joint statement by the bishops.
