The Former CS is in the company of his four lawyers including Otiende Amollo, Eugene Wamalwa, Danstan Omari and Okong'o Omogeni.
"I am at the CID HQ office along Kiambu Road where as an Advocate of the High Court and West Mugirango Mp I accompanied CS Dr Fred Matiangi in answer to summons requiring his attendance," Mogaka said.
"The investigators framed two areas of interest to which to grill Matiang'i. On advice of his legal team, Matiang'i invoked his constitutional right to remain silent."
He added that the DCI officers appear to be taking orders from someone on what to do.
The Former CS arrived at the DCI offices around 8 am.
The detectives had instructed him to appear before them at 9am.
