The police stated that IG Mutyambai had been away on duty in the Democratic Republic of Congo and returned to the country on Sunday morning. 

"The IG returned into the country this morning after a tour of duty in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, where he participated in the 23rd Annual general meeting for Eastern Africa Police Chiefs Cooperation Organization (EAPCCO) 2021.

The Kenyan delegation was led by Mr Wilson Njenga, Secretary Security in the Ministry of nterior and National Coordination. Such reckless, malicious and unverified reporting should be ignored with contempt," the statement ends.
