According to the DCI, Basweti’s photo was mistakenly included among the wanted persons. Responding promptly to the DCI’s call for listed individuals to assist in further investigations, Basweti surrendered himself at the Kenyenya DCI offices on Wednesday and recorded a statement to clarify his situation.
Basweti explained that the photos circulated by the DCI, which allegedly showed him participating in the protests and occupying parliament, were actually taken on June 10, 2024. He was visiting parliament on that day upon the invitation of his Member of Parliament, Silvanus Osoro.
The DCI acknowledged the error and issued an apology to Basweti for any distress caused by the wrongful accusation. They emphasized their commitment to ensuring accurate and thorough investigations, while urging the public to remain vigilant and cooperative during the ongoing manhunt for the real suspects involved in the anti-Finance Bill protests.
The DCI’s apology and Basweti’s clarification highlight the importance of due process and the need for careful verification in criminal investigations, particularly during periods of heightened tension and public unrest. As the search for the true perpetrators continues, the DCI has reassured the public of their dedication to upholding justice and maintaining public trust.
