The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George
Kinoti has accused Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala of giving wrong information
regarding an alleged plot to assassinate him.
Appearing before a Senate committee on Wednesday, Kinoti
said the claims made by Malala were malicious.
The DCI noted that after investigating Malala’s claims his
office is satisfied that they are not true, adding that the senator should be
charged with providing malicious information.

According to him, Malala’s claim has injured the reputation of the DCI and its officers.
“Special Services Unit is a unit in the DCI which is under the command of the director of operations. A search of the DCI personnel data bases could not find any of the alleged officers names submitted in the complaint letter. There is no officer identified as Chief Inspector Wanzala in the unit or in the entire DCI personnel database.
“Allegations by Malala are false and ill-intended...we urge
this committee to order the author of these allegations to be charged. These
allegations impacted on character assassination of members of the Special
Service Unit…the author should apologise to the unit,” the DCI Boss stated.
Malala assassination squad
claim
Last week, Senator Malala alleged that an assassination squad
had been formed to eliminate him.
He urged the relevant authorities to beef up his security and
investigate the issue. During one of the committee’s sessions, Malala was
overcome with emotions and broke down in tears.
