Naivasha Member of Parliament Jayne Kihara has been summoned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over allegations of undermining the authority of a public officer, in what is shaping up to be a politically charged development.

According to a letter issued by Assistant Inspector General of Police George Lenny Kisaka, Kihara is being investigated over the alleged dissemination of inciteful or disruptive content deemed to contravene Section 132 of the Penal Code, which criminalises undermining the authority of public officers.

The DCI summon, which has been seen by Kenyans.co.ke, states that the police believe Kihara is either directly connected to the alleged offence or has crucial information that can aid the ongoing investigations. "I have reasons to believe that you, Hon.

Jayne Njeri Wanjiku Kihara, MP Naivasha Constituency, are connected to the offence or have information that can assist me in my investigations," the letter read in part.
