Police IG Japhet Koome says they have nothing to do with the raid at former Interior CS Matiang’i’s home.
No officer from the National Police Service was sent to the home of former Interior Minister Fred Matiang’i Wednesday night, according to police chief Japhet Koome on Thursday.
“I wish to clarify that no police officer under the NPS was sent to former CS Matiang’i residence at all,” the police chief told the Nation this morning.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) chief executive Twalib Mbarak said last night that his team had nothing to do with the alleged raid despite initial reports claiming EACC officers were after the former CS.
Police policemen surrounded Matiang’i’s Karen home on Wednesday night.
The officers went at the former CS’s Karen house just before 10 p.m. and were trying to force their way inside.

Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga arrived at Matiang’i’s home minutes after 10 pm. He sought to ascertain why the police had laid siege at the former CS’s home.
Dr. Matiang’i’s legal team, who were also present at his residence, called the move unprocedural and claimed his life may be in danger.
“The police have not declared what they want or what he’s done wrong. We do not understand why the police would come to arrest our client in the dead of the night. Why didn’t they come during the day?” posed lawyer Sam Nyaberi.
