The Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Amin Mohamed has directed the Kasarani Sub-County Criminal Investigations Officer to fast-track the investigation of a Kenyan Woman working in Saudi Arabia who lost Ksh 300,000 she sent to a wrong number.
In a statement on Friday, February 23, DCI said the Kasarani DCIO has also been directed to report after completing the investigations.
“The Director DCI has directed the Sub-County Criminal Investigations Officer (SCCIO/DCIO) at Kasarani to fast-track investigations into these allegations and report on the same. We shall share the position of the matter including the action taken soon,” DCI stated.
In the video doing rounds on social media, a lady who identifies herself as Irene working in Saudi Arabia, flew to Kenya to follow up on the Ksh 300,000 she had sent to the wrong number.
Irene claimed that she reported the matter to the Kasarani DCI and was given an OB by two officers after tracing the number she had sent the money.

According to Irene, the two DCI officers asked her for Ksh 20,000 for Fuel to facilitate the arrest of the man who received the money.
“On the day of the arrest, I was told to send another Ksh 3000 to a taxi driver because the police vehicle could not access where the suspect was,” she claimed.
Irene came to realize later that the additional money he sent went to a DCI officer and not to a Taxi driver she was told.
She mentioned that the suspect was later arrested but was freed after allegedly bribing the DCI officers with Ksh 100,000.
“The guy was arrested with money and he bribed the officers with Ksh 100,000 and they divided four of them. I have a message of that guy a few minutes after he was freed showing he sent Ksh 22,100 to one of the DCI officers by the name of Lucy,” Irene claimed.
