Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has defended the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) against accusations of impunity, stating that the agency operates strictly within the law and remains accountable to the public.
Speaking on Tuesday, July 22, at the DCI Headquarters on Kiambu Road during the relaunch of the revamped Fichua Kwa DCI call centre, Murkomen dismissed claims that the department is a "faceless" institution harboring rogue officers. "There's a lot of innuendo and propaganda that this DCI is a hidden place, that rogue officers are here.
As you can see, all these officers have been introduced openly; we know their names, we know what they do, and this is an institution of the people, not just for the government or elites," Murkomen said.
The event, which also marked the commissioning of a modernized call centre with new communication infrastructure, was attended by officials from the UK government, whose partnership supported the refurbishment.
