NAIROBI (Halbeeg News)- Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations is planning to summon two Somali MPs from Northeastern Kenya in connection with a sex tape linked to Wajir Woman Representative Fatuma Gedi.
DCI boss George Kinoti says the summons was premature because there was no evidence linking any of them to the crime.
Kinoti has dismissed that the MPs were already summoned saying the CID is still looking into the allegations.
The legislators together with two other non-Somalis are accused of uttering defamatory statements that portrayed the MP in bad light following the circulation of the unverified video, which Ms Gedi dismissed as fake.
The four include Eldas MP Aden Keynan, Abdihakim Mohamed of Fafi Constituency, Isiolo Woman Representative Rehema Jaldesa and her Kirinyaga counterpart Wangui Ngirici.
Gedi has since denied being the one in the video and filed a formal complaint that led to the arrest and prosecution of a blogger accused of circulating it.
A Kenyan blogger Douglas Mbaya was last year arrested and arraigned in a Nairobi court for allegedly circulating the video.
