Published on November 11, 2019, a probe by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) into a leaked sex tape allegedly featuring Wajir Woman Representative Fatuma Gedi has hit a dead end.
Two MPs, Eldas MP Adan Keynan and Fafi counterpart Abdikarim Osman Mohamed, were summoned by the DCI in February on allegations that defamed Fatuma Gedi using the leaked sex tape.
However, the MPs claimed they had not received any summon from the DCI, with Abdikarim Osman stating, 'I have not received any summon from the DCI nor the police. They all know where to find me but no one has communicated with me so far regarding the purported summon.'
Fatuma Gedi denied being the woman in the video and termed the leaked tape as an 'evil-work of her political backbiters'.
Despite the DCI's request for the MPs to report to the DCI headquarters to record their statements, the Legal Counsel for the Directorate of Litigation and Compliance at Parliament, Josephat Kuyoni, directed the clerk to not honour the request, citing that it falls out of the scope of Parliament.
DCI Boss George Kinoti later stated that detectives are unable to question the four MPs due to their parliamentary privileges.
