"They stormed his house and descended on him mercilessly accusing him of disloyalty, betrayal and not ‘working smart'," DCI said in a statement.
The agency has urged Kenyans to watch the video and help identify any of the four suspects.
The hunt for the four suspects comes barely a week after DCI arrested three money-laundering suspects following a raid on an apartment in Kileleshwa, Nairobi.
The DCI Transnational Organized Crime detectives seized assorted fake local and foreign currencies.
The detectives acting on intelligence had launched an operation at Midea Apartment's house number 101, therein ambushing Abdulaziz Ibrahim Hassan, 54, Dorcas Ntoya, 34, and 26-year-old Arum Bob Busimbi.
According to the DCI, the three are believed to be part of a syndicate that is behind the rising cases of money laundering in the country, commonly known as wash wash.
Several fake US dollar notes in denominations of 100 and a machine believed to be used in printing the fake notes were found in the house.
