The Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti told the general population in a broadcast public interview that the official was killed without a second thought and the killing was organized as self-destruction.
He connected the official’s homicide to a phony arms bargain that was supposedly endorsed at the DP’s office.

In a meeting with Nation on Monday, the Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji said Kenei’s case doesn’t exist.
Haji uncovered that the Kinoti-drove directorate is yet to outfit his office with a probe file in Kenei’s passing for additional activity.
As indicated by Haji, his office has never been approached to support charges against anybody for the situation.
“There is no Kenei case. The homicide/suicide one? No, that document has never come to us,” Haji said.
Haji was clarifying the difficulties his office faces in getting high-profile convictions.
He, nonetheless, requested individuals from the general population to show restraint toward the arraignment interaction, saying it hauls slowly because of a few components past his office’s control.
Kenai was the official accountable for security at the DP’s Annex Office the day former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa and three others, who are dealing with extortion indictments, shown up with outsiders said to have been hoodwinked in a Ksh39 billion arms deal.
He vanished on the day he was relied upon to record an assertion with the DCI in regards to the matter.
In any event, first junior partners monitoring the Annex office are said to have recorded explanations with the DCI.
IN a CCTV film unveiled by Kinoti, Kenei is seen introducing Echesa and two different suspects in the extortion case – Daniel Otieno and Clifford Okoth – into a meeting room in the Deputy President’s office.
Echesa and his co-blamed were charged on February 17, 2020, three days before Kenei was discovered dead.
The DP is on record blaming Kinoti for politicizing Kenei’s passing after the ‘sensational’ question and answer session where the CCTV film was unveiled.
In a message coordinated at the DCI, the DP named disclosures by the DCI from CCTV film uncovered to the media as “show”.
DCI supervisor George Kinoti on Thursday told the media that Kenei was killed without blinking and the killing was arranged to seem like he ended it all.
Kinoti appeared to censure the DP’s office after he asserted that early film delivered by Ruto’s men was altered to cover exercises preceding Echesa’s visit.
The DP’s office excused cases that Echesa and his group associates remained in his office for 1 hour 22 minutes, keeping up that they were in the workplace for 23 minutes.
Naming Kinoti’s comments as misleading statements, the DP has now approached the DCI to speed up the examinations and uncover individuals behind Kenei’s homicide and the purpose for his killing.
Ruto said the slanderous attacks and “supported features” in the media sum to concealment.
