Wiper MCA Summoned by DCI Over June 25 Protests

Two political figures have been summoned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Makueni County in connection with the violent protests that occurred on June 25.

Francis Mutuku, the Member of County Assembly (MCA) for Nzaui-Kilili-Kalamba Ward, and Urbanus Wambua, a former Machakos County Executive Committee member, have been identified as persons of interest in the ongoing investigations.

The DCI directed both leaders to appear at their offices for questioning regarding the chaos and destruction witnessed in Makueni during the demonstrations.

In a formal notice, the DCI stated, “I am conducting investigations into a suspected offence of arson and malicious damage to property, which is a violation of Sections 332 and 339(1) of the Penal Code.” The document further cites the legal authority under which the summons were issued, referencing Section 52(1) of the National Police Service Act.

According to the summons, the two were expected to report to the Makueni Police Station at 10:00 a.m. on July 2. The DCI also warned that ignoring the summons would be considered a criminal offence and could result in prosecution.

Newshub.co.ke contacted MCA Francis Mutuku, who confirmed that he had received the summons and was on his way to comply with the order. “Yes, I have received the summons.

They are mentioning something about malicious damage to property, but I honestly don’t know much about it. I’m on my way to the DCI office in Makueni right now,” he said.

Makueni County was among the areas most affected during the nationwide protests held on June 25. The demonstrations turned chaotic in several parts of the county, leading to widespread destruction, looting, and violent clashes between protesters and the police. Property was vandalized, and the streets were scenes of running battles.

Sadly, two people from Makueni were confirmed to have died during the protests. Autopsy reports later revealed that both victims had succumbed to gunshot injuries, raising further concerns about the use of excessive force by security officers during the protests.

The summons to the two leaders come just a day after law enforcement officers launched a crackdown on youth leaders affiliated with the Democracy for Citizens’ Party, a political group linked to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

The family of Peter Kawanjiru reported that he was forcibly taken by officers from the DCI on the night of Monday, July 1. In a separate incident, another youth leader, Wanjiku Thiga, confirmed that she had been arrested the following day on Tuesday.

As the investigations into the violent protests continue, the DCI disclosed on Monday that a total of 485 individuals had so far been arrested across the country. Of these, 448 have already been charged in court, while 37 others are still under investigation.

The situation remains tense as the DCI intensifies its efforts to identify the key organizers and perpetrators behind the unrest that left a trail of destruction and claimed multiple lives.
