Acting Director of Criminal Investigation, Hamisi Massa, has refuted reports claiming that he criticised Rigathi Gachagua after the deputy president appeared on Citizen TV interview.
Gachagua, in the interview, asserted that the DCI ought to be headed as a professional agency and not a drama queen.
In a statement dated October 4, the newly appointed DCI boss refuted that he hit back at the DP while addressing a meeting convened by the Auditor General.
He reiterated that he made no reference to the DP in his statements, distancing himself from quotes used by various media publications.
During the interview on Citizen TV on Sunday, October 4, Gachagua criticised how the investigative agency conducted its investigations, particularly under former DCI boss, George Kinoti.
Massa was appointed in an acting capacity by the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) after his predecessor, George Kinoti resigned.
NPSC declared the position vacant and asked qualified candidates to apply for the post.
