Tuesday, August 04, 2026 - Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Mohamed Amin has strongly dismissed allegations by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that he has access to confidential information from state security agencies.
Speaking on Monday, August 3, Amin branded the claims as
false and baseless.
“The other day, I saw a comedian making a statement, saying
that he was able to obtain information from the DCI and other security
agencies. That is nonsense,” Amin said.
His remarks came just days after Interior Cabinet Secretary
Kipchumba Murkomen also refuted Gachagua’s assertions that he knew in advance
what President William Ruto would announce during his Special Address on
Thursday, July 30.
Murkomen, addressing the matter on Friday, July 31, insisted
there was nothing secretive about the announcement, describing Gachagua’s
claims as misleading.
“I saw someone claiming they had uncovered the President’s
secret, saying they knew what the President was going to announce,” Murkomen
said.
He emphasized that the government’s long-term development
agenda had already been discussed internally and was not a last-minute
decision.
“Kenya’s future is not a secret, nor is it something the
President just decided to announce yesterday evening.
“He had already discussed it with Prof. Anyang’ Nyong’o and
the rest of us, who are members of the Cabinet, a few weeks ago,” Murkomen
added.
Ahead of the address, Gachagua alleged that President Ruto
was preparing to unveil an ambitious Vision 2060 blueprint and appoint former
President Uhuru Kenyatta to lead it.
He cautioned Kenyatta against accepting such a role, terming
it a political distraction.
“We are telling my elder brother Uhuru Kenyatta, don’t allow
yourself to be dragged into that mess,” Gachagua said, urging the government to
focus on accounting for its recent performance instead of introducing another
long-term agenda.
“That vision is something we will plan next year.
“Why are you worried about the next 60 years? Tell us what
you have done in the last one year,” he added.
