Attorney General Kihara Kariuki and EACC boss Twalib Mbarak yesterday told off DP William Ruto and his allies for trying to prevent the DCI from investigating corruption. “To what extent do you think the DCI has the legal mandate to investigate matters touching on corruption?” Cheptumo asked. Ruto allies are on record saying that the DCI is being used by some politician to target certain individuals and communities in the renewed war on graft. But Kihara faulted the DP and his allies and cited Section 35 of the National Police Service Act which mandates the DCI to investigate all forms of crime. It (the law) has never classified which type of crime, and economic crime is part of crime.
