DCI Summons Another Gachagua Ally Over Alleged Incitement
Naivasha Member of Parliament Jayne Kihara has been summoned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over claims that she undermined the authority of a public official—a move stirring political tension.
According to a letter signed by Assistant Inspector General of Police, George Lenny Kisaka, Kihara is under investigation for allegedly spreading inciteful or disruptive remarks. These claims fall under Section 132 of Kenya’s Penal Code, which prohibits actions that show disrespect toward public officers.
The letter, seen by Gossipa2z.com, indicates that the DCI believes Kihara is either directly involved in the case or holds information that could assist investigators.
“I have reason to believe you, Hon. Jayne Njeri Wanjiku Kihara, MP for Naivasha Constituency, are either connected to the offence or have information that could support the investigation,” the letter reads.
Kihara has been directed to report to DCI Headquarters on Kiambu Road on Monday, July 14, 2025, at 10:30 a.m.. The notice further warns that skipping the summons could lead to prosecution.
This summons comes at a time of growing political friction, especially among leaders loyal to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Kihara has recently been one of the most outspoken critics of the government.

In her reaction, Kihara accused the current regime of using law enforcement to silence opposing views. She described the DCI summons as a political scheme to muzzle dissent.
“The era of scaring leaders through the justice system is over. Summoning me won’t shake Kenyans’ resolve. This is bigger than me—it’s about our nation,” she wrote.
Kihara also addressed President William Ruto directly, accusing him of repeating the mistakes of past administrations by using intimidation to suppress opposition.
“Mr. President, this strategy has failed before—and it will fail again under your leadership,” she said.
She ended her statement by vowing not to back down, promising to continue challenging what she called the government’s “oppressive tactics.”
These events unfold as the government faces increasing calls to act against allies of Rigathi Gachagua, who have been accused of inciting unrest and sponsoring violence during recent demonstrations.
Gachagua himself has previously claimed that President Ruto ordered the DCI to target young people linked to his political movement. He also alleged that some governors close to Ruto are helping coordinate these operations.
