Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has given the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) a one-day ultimatum to release a report on what they found in her home while investigating the death of blogger Daniel Muthiani Benard alias Sniper.
Addressing the media on Friday, January 19, Governor Mwangaza said she will call for protests in Meru if the DCI fails to release the report.
"Because you said the governor's residence is the scene of the crime, by tomorrow the DCI and other units that declared it a scene of crime must provide us with a report on what they found at the governor's place. Failure to do so, we will protest as the people of Meru people demanding for that a report," said Mwangaza.
The Meru governor also demanded the DCI disclose what they found in her phone that they took and those of her workers.

“You came here again and took the phones of all my employees. What did you find on their phones? Why are you announcing information halfway? You should inform us what you have discovered. I want to protect the integrity of my office as the governor, and I want you to openly disclose what you found,” she added.
At the same time, Mwangaza claimed that the investigations on the murder of Sniper have been politicized against her.
Governor Mwangaza vowed to move to court to sue the individuals who have accused her of being involved in the killing of Sniper.
“For those of you who have claimed that the governor is a murderer and mentioned my name, we will meet in court. I want to be paid for the damages to be paid. And not just casual money,” the Meru Governor remarked.
This comes after the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) directed Mwangaza's brother Murangiri Kenneth Guantai, also known as Tali and Vincent Mureithi Kirimi alias Supuu to be charged in connection with the killing of Sniper.
