Rarieda Member of Parliament Otiende Amollo has issued an update on the ongoing grilling of former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi at the DCI headquarters.
According to the lawyer, the DCI detectives grilled the former CS for fifteen minutes before leaving him for hours without a word.
“Interesting Times, With Former Interior CS Fred Matiangi At DCI Kiambu, 5Hrs Later, Still Held In Abeyance After Only 15 Minutes Engagement. This, Despite A High Court Order! This Is No Investigation, Pure Vendetta & Witch-hunt. Sad Indeed,” Otiende tweeted.
Nairobi Leo has learnt that Matiang'i occasioned a standoff at the DCI headquarters after he refused to record a statement.

The move forced the DCI detectives to leave the grilling room to consult on the next course of action.
"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.
"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," Matiang’i’s lawyer Steve Mogaka revealed.
