‘They don’t know me well,’ – ODM Governor Issues Stern Warning to DCI
Kilifi Governor Gideon Mung’aro has advised Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officials at Mtwapa Police Station not to meddle in land problems.
Speaking on Monday, March 25, Mung’aro said that land grabbers are using DCI officials to scare villagers.
The ODM Governor urged DCI sleuths against getting involved, stressing that land concerns are not under their domain.
“I don’t want to hear stories about threats from the DCI. We have county laws and bylaws. If you build without a permit, we will break the wall. If you build a storey building, we will demolish it,” said Mungaro.
He continued, “This matter is not for the DCI. The DCI has no business with land issues. If it’s a case of land fraud, let the appropriate authorities investigate and inform us of what fraud has occurred. But it cannot be the DCI issuing eviction notices to people.”
Governor Mung’aro challenged the DCI officials to remain involved in land affairs, adding that he wishes to speak with the Kilifi County Commissioner and County Criminal Investigation Officer.
“I am warning the DCI and making it very clear. Let them try if they don’t know me well, there is no more intimidating the citizens. Were they elected? They have just been posted here, tomorrow they will be taken somewhere else,” the Kilifi governor added.
Mung’aro’s admonition came after Mtwapa locals received summons notices to appear before the Mtwapa Police Station DCI Office for questioning on land problems.
