DCI summons Stanley Livondo over Uhuru claims

Nairobi businessman Stanley Livondo has been summoned by the  Serious Crimes Unit of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over his claims about the safety of President Uhuru Kenyatta's life. 

The DCI, which asked him to appear before it at 2pm today (Monday), wants him to shed light on the claims.

He reportedly showed at DCI headquarters ahead of time and was questioned by officers. 

Mr Livondo said that he had offered the DCI all the information he had over his sentiments. 

"I have given them all the information they wanted. This includes names and the plot I alluded to during the rally. i have also asked them to protect the witnesses, given the sensitivity of this matter," Mr Livondo told journalists outside the DCI headquarters along Kiambu road, in Nairobi. 

A notice to compel him to honour the summons states that the unit is conducting an inquiry into his comments at Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria’s homecoming and thanksgiving ceremony at Thika stadium.

Mr Kuria has since termed the remarks as reckless and called on DCI George Kinoti to arrest Mr Livondo.

“As the convener of the thanksgiving prayer meeting in Thika, I may not be responsible for what speakers said but it was my meeting and I have to take responsibility. I have today requested DCI Boss George Kinoti to arrest Stanley Livondo following his reckless remarks,” Mr Kuria said on his Facebook page yesterday.
