DCI Responds To Presidential Aspirant Okiya Omtatah After Serious Viral Claims on Kibet Bull’s Abduction
In a press release on Thursday, Busia Senator Okiyah Omtatah revealed that he met up with Kibet Bull, hours before he was picked up by unknown men.
According to Omtatah, a vehicle linked to the DCI was trailing Kibet, and he strongly believed that they are responsible for the Alleged Abduction.
However DCI has Issued A Response Saying;
Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) takes note of the statement made by Senator Okiya Omtatah Okoiti regarding the reported sighting of a white Subaru vehicle linked to the alleged abduction of Mr Gideon Kibet. We wish to emphasize that these allegations are being taken with utmost seriousness.
Firstly, we wish to clarify that the DCI categorically denies any association with the vehicle in question. The suggestion that a vehicle belonging to the DCI was involved in any alleged abduction is not only unfounded but also sensationalizes a sensitive issue that is currently under thorough investigation.
The Inspector General (IG) has clearly stated that all police operations are conducted within the confines of the Constitution and established legal frameworks. The DCI supports this stance and reassures the public that no extrajudicial actions will be tolerated within our ranks.
We have received reports of alleged abductions, and the DCI is diligently working to investigate these claims. We urge any individuals with credible information on these matters to come forward and cooperate with our independent investigations. The DCI remains open and transparent in handling such cases, ensuring that justice is pursued without prejudice or compromise.
The integrity of our investigations is paramount, and we take any attempts to undermine this process seriously. The DCI is fully committed to expediting these investigations, and we urge public leaders to refrain from making speculative statements that may hinder the progress of ongoing investigations.
The DCI reaffirms its steadfast dedication to maintaining the rule of law and protecting the rights and liberties of all Kenyans as we strive to uphold the values of accountability and transparency in our operations. Earning the public’s trust is essential in our quest for justice, and we hope that social dialogue remains constructive and solution- oriented rather than speculative as we collaborate towards a safer, just, and more inclusive society.
