By Wanja Waweru

It is now possible to get all the information on the vehicles that were seen outside the home of former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i on Wednesday night

According to Nairobi News, a police Toyota Land Cruiser and a Subaru Outback were among the vehicles (whose registration number was recorded).

Both vehicles arrived at the Dr. Matiang’i’s Karen home’s entrance and tried to enter as the media showed up.

Toyota Land Cruiser had been labeled SGB which is the Security of Government Buildings (SGB), a wing in the Administrative Police Service tasked with protection of government premises.

This even after the Ministry of Interior and the National Police Service denied reports of the raid at the home of the former Interior Minister.

Dr. Matiang’i stage-managed the entire operation, according to the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Mr. Mohamed Amin’s emphatic statement on Thursday.

“Our preliminary investigations have recovered a well-coordinated and deliberate attempt to spread false information and incite public fear, unfortunately spear-headed by a person of the standing of a former Interior CS,” Mr Amin said.

Asked to explain the presence of the two vehicles at Dr Matiang’i’s gate, the DCI boss said they are still investigating whether the vehicles belonged to the National Police Service.

“As I have said, we are on with the investigations and we are yet to ascertain whether the vehicles belonged to the police service,” he said.
