Deputy President Dr William Ruto has hit back at DCI boss George Kinoti over the murder of his Harambee Annex office guard, sergent Kipyegon Kenei.

Kenei, the policeman who was on duty when ex-Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa and his fake arms dealers held an illegal meeting at the DP’s office, was killed by powerful individuals.

DCI Kinoti on Thursday played Harambee Annex CCTV footages to the media, noting that Kenei was murdered, and his killers stage managed the scene to look like a suicide.

“We have identified the persons of interest and that will be the focus of our investigation going forward,” he told journalists moments after he addressed a lengthy press conference where he played CCTV footage showing Kenei’s last moments.

However, DP Ruto while hitting back at Kinoti said that the truth must be found on why, how and who killed sergent Kenei.

Ruto says Kenei’s family, his office and Kenyans want the truth and justice, and that culprits held to account.

According to the second in command, the drama, distortions, convenient half-truths and the smear campaigns in sponsored headlines amounts to criminal cover up.

“The truth MUST be found on WHY, HOW,and WHO killed Sgt kenei. The family, ODP,and kenyans want the TRUTH & JUSTICE and culprits held to account. The drama, distortions, convenient half-truths and the smear campaigns in sponsored headlines amounts to criminal cover up,” Ruto tweeted.

According to the investigators, Kenei had nothing to fear and was ready to spill the beans about what he knew regarding the fake arms deal that threw the DP’s office into the limelight.

Evidence gathered by the homicide detectives show Kenei’s house revealed a scenario of a gruesome murder stage-managed to look like a suicide.

Sergent Kipyegon Kenei, an officer who was on duty at Deputy President William Ruto’s office at the time ex-Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa held an illegal meeting at the Harambee Annex office, was murdered in cold blood, DCI George Kinoti has revealed.

According to CCTV footages played before media cameras on Thursday afternoon at DCI headquarters, Sergent Kenei was murdered, with his killers stage managing the incident to make it look like suicide.

Reports have described Kenei as a key witness in the ongoing Sh39 billion fake arms deal investigation involving Echesa and three others.

Sergent Kenei was found dead on February 20 at his house in Villa Franca Estate in Imara Daima.

A post-mortem carried out on his body on February 26 revealed that he died from a single gunshot wound.

Kenei was killed by a bullet that was fired from a pistol held to his chin.

DCI Kinoti has revealed that the impact of the single gunshot to his head could have sent him falling on the bed, instead, he was found on the floor.

Further CCTV footage shows Ex-Sports CS Rashid Echesa and other suspects were in DP Ruto’s Harambee Annex office for 1hr 22mins and not 23 mins, DCI boss Kinoti says.

Additionally, evidence has shown that the suicide note collected from his house on the day he was murdered did not bear his handwriting.

“Everything was well planned to appear like a suicide. Sending money to his family, leaving behind a suicide note and so forth but it’s a clear case of murder,” a detective privy to the ongoing investigations told the Nation.

The preliminary probe shows Kenei’s murder was planned for a long time.

Kinoti further noted that the policeman wanted to record a statement on the fake arms deal.

Deputy President William Ruto has spoken after an Administrative Police attached to his Harambee Annex office was on Thursday February 20, 2020 found dead in his house in Imara Daima, Nairobi.

The police officer identified as Sergent Kipyegon Kenei, was on duty at the DP’s office the day former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa and two foreigners entered the Harambee Annex office to strike a Ksh 39 billion fake firearms deal.

DP Ruto through a tweet remarked that the death of the man was a huge loss.

He further noted that he knew Kenei on a professional level and was shocked by the turn of events.

The second in command called for the DCI to look into the matter to find justice for the slain officer.

“Deeply saddened by the death of Police Sergent Kipyegon Kenei who worked in my Harambee House Annex Office. Kenei was a disciplined young police officer. I urge the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding his death,” read the tweet.

The demise of the officer came after a manhunt had been launched by the DCI Kinoti led team.

The body of the deceased was found at his house in Imara Daima.

Police reports pointed out that the man committed suicide after he shot himself.

On Wednesday, DP Ruto had written to Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai over his safety.

According to Ruto, the breach of security at his office by Echesa and his men together with the foreigners, had put his life in danger.

The DP had also argued that Interior CS Fred Matiang’i should make investigations into the two foreigners.

Through his Chief of Staff, Ken Osinde, the DP wanted the visa issued to the Europeans reviewed.

It is reported that Matiang’i and the Head of Immigrations Service Alex Muteshi did not respond to the incident.

In addition, Ruto wanted the alleged outsiders to be detained until the case is determined by the relevant authorities.
