The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has broken its silence on the chaos that threatened to derail a church event attended by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Sunday, March 6.
In a detailed statement released on Monday, April 7, the DCI appeared to contradict Gachagua's earlier remarks, where the former DP faulted security agencies for what he termed as a deliberate disregard of their mandate to provide security, specifically during events attended by him.
The DCI specifically referenced the incident at the PCEA church in Mwiki, in which they claimed there was no prior communication regarding the planned attendance of political dignitaries at the church service. "The Mwiki police command has stated that the church failed to notify the police of the planned function, which included political leaders, and therefore, no advance security measures were deployed to handle such an eventuality," the statement read in part.
