The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has dismissed claims by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that he receives intelligence from officers within security agencies.
According to DCI Director Mohamed Amin, he termed Gachagua’s claims as false and reckless, warning that such statements undermine public confidence in the country’s security institutions and could compromise national security.
The DCI boss said officers serving in the National Police Service (NPS) remain professional and disciplined in the execution of their duties.
“Our officers are professional officers who execute their duties professionally, diligently and with utmost discipline. So let us not purport that you receive information from members of the security. That is a big lie,” he said.

He w further cautioned politicians against making inflammatory remarks in public rallies or on digital platforms.
Amin said security agencies would firmly enforce the law.
“For politicians engaged in making those reckless utterances, be it in public rallies or digital platforms, their time is up, and it is not going to be business as usual,” he added.
However, Amin insisted that the agency’s mandate is to safeguard the country’s security and warned that anyone found violating the law would face appropriate legal action.
The DCI boss remarks come days after Gachagua claimed he receives credible intelligence from individuals working in key government offices, including the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and State House.
