On October 15, 2019, Interior Spokesperson Wangui Muchiri directed the Inspector General of Police, Hillary Mutyambai, to investigate his deputy and a Member of Parliament in Nairobi over allegations of irregularities and illegalities at the Immigration Department.
The directive came after a damning exposé by Citizen TV titled 'Westlands Underworld' implicated officials at the Immigration Department and other government security agencies in a plan to deport an Asian family so that they could take over the family's vast wealth.
According to the exposé, senior government officials have been using their positions to allegedly harass, intimidate, and plan the deportation of the Asian businessman and his sister.
The investigation is expected to determine the validity or lack thereof of the allegations, with the Interior Spokesperson urging any member of the public with documentary evidence to submit information to the Director Internal Affairs Unit.
