On May 30, 2022, the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George Kinoti made a shocking revelation in court, alleging that the signatures of his officers who purportedly attended a terrorism guidelines workshop in Naivasha were forged.
According to Kinoti, the officers' signatures on the attendance list provided by the DPP were forged since they missed some sessions but were signed in as present at all times.
Further, the court was told that the DCI even confirmed the hotel bookings, and the hotel where the terrorism guidelines workshop was taking place did not accommodate the officers since they were on duty elsewhere.
Chief Inspector Joseph Kipchumba and Chief Inspector Stephen Ngereso Khamisi of the Anti-Terror Police Unit (ATPU) were indicated to have been present in all forums as per the attendance list.
However, a holistic scrutiny of the attendance list revealed discrepancies, capturing a 100% attendance rate from all the participants involved in the entire exercise.
Kinoti avers that Kipchuma did not attend the sessions on 17th January, 14th and 18th March 2022 as he had been recalled back to his station to attend other pressing matters.
He also did not attend some of the evening sessions on 21st and 31st January, 3rd February and 30th March 2022.
Kinoti said that he received the invitation letter from the DPP on 13th January 2022 but he declined to attend since he had not been consulted beforehand on such a serious issue.
