The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has reportedly summoned the Mukuru Community Justice Centre.
The summons came amid a crackdown by Kenya’s policing agencies targeting citizens alleged to be involved in the filming of BBC’s ‘Blood Parliament’ exposé.
The community-based justice advocates confirmed receiving the summons through an official statement posted on their platforms.

According to the group, they were instructed to present themselves at the DCI offices at 11am.
Moreover, the summons specifically require the physical presence of the organisation’s senior leadership.
The group however noted that they did not receive the reason for the summons.
The organisation further alleged that the summons could be linked to their involvement in the exposure of the Kware mutilation case, an incident that has yet to receive closure or clarity from authorities.
They also pointed to possible suspicion around their collaboration with the UK-based media outlet BBC in the production of the Bloodshed Parliament documentary as another potential trigger.
