Director of Criminal
Investigations boss George Kinoti has been asked to investigate one of his junior
officers who is alleged to be involved in corrupt activities by using names of
senior investigators at the department.
The officer Corporal Polycarp Magai is accused
of invoking the name of senior CID officers as he demands for bribes from
people he`s investigating in order to write them favorable reports.
Already a woman from Nakuru county has written to Kinoti complaining that Corporal Magai took Shs 2 Million from her in order to write a favorable report in a case he was investigating where the woman had sold a parcel of land to a different person but later on ensured that she was arrested, arraigned in court and later on asked for another Shs 5 Million to write a good report again.
``In 2017 My company entered into an agreement with
somebody else to sell land on her behalf and after a search it was established
that the vendor (customer) was the actual owner of the land and after a
while Corporal Magai contacted me saying that he was investigating the legality
of the grant held by the vendor over the property, `said the woman whom we cannot
name now for fear of her security.
She adds that Corporal Magai further informed her that
he was investigating the legality of the grant in respect of the other land
owned by her in Nakuru County.
The woman further claims that in April this year the
officer contacted her and informed her that investigations in respect of one of
the land had been concluded and that he would prepare a favorable report in the
event that he gives him a kickback of Shs 2 Million.
``On April 05 I gave him Shs 2 Million through his
proxies and I can divulge details if I am required to do so` `part of the
letter to Kinoti reads.
The woman wonders that after dishing out the kickback
to the officer he arrested her claiming that the arrest was beyond him as he
was acting at the behest of CID boss Kinoti and was charged at the court for
land fraud.
``I call upon the DCI boss to investigate Corporal
Magai as he reneged on his promise and take disciplinary action against him,
`added the complainant.
The woman who says that she has received death threats
from Corporal Magai claims in her letter to Kinoti which we have a copy
that upon being charged in court on April 10, the officer further indicated to
her that he was on the verge of concluding investigations in respect to the
second land and he would prepare an adverse report unless she remits yet again
Shs 5 Million bribe.
The complainant who says that she has witnesses to
back up her allegations whenever they called upon by officers from the DCI
or in court, is asking the DCI boss to compel the officer to return the
money she took from her as she didn`t assist her with anything but only
``stole`` from her.
