Controversy surrounding the alleged police raid at the home of Kenya’s former powerful Interior minister Fred Matiang’i deepened Thursday after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations claimed Matiang’i had stage-managed his attempted arrest to incite the public against President William Ruto’s government.
Former prime minister Raila Odinga and a team of lawyers speaking for Matiang’i had the previous night told journalists that the former minister was holed up in his house fearing arrest by an elite squad of police officers who had earlier surrounded his home.
