Matiang’i on Tuesday presented himself to the DCI headquarters to honor the summon issued to him following an alleged police raid at his home last month.

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has advised former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i to reach out to President William Ruto and ask for forgiveness. 

In a statement on Thursday, March 9, Sonko urged Matiang’i to write an apology letter to the Head of State over the wrongdoings he did to him in the previous regime.

“Write a letter to the President and apologize for all the wrongdoings you did to him and all his foot soldiers including myself at the same time you also ask for forgiveness from God,” Sonko tweeted.

The DCI in a statement after the grilling noted that the former CS would be charged with conspiracy to commit a felony and publication of false information. 

According to the DCI, Matiang’i attempted to cause panic and chaos among Kenyans by claiming that his home had been raided. 

“On February 8, 2023, at Karen Ngong View Estate within Nairobi County in the Republic of Kenya with intent to cause panic, chaos or violence amongst citizens of Kenya jointly with others published in the media that your house had been raided by a battalion and or “garrison” of officers intending to arrest you, a fact you knew to be false,” the DCI charge sheet read in part.
