Mohamed Amin, Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), has categorically denied allegations of perjury stemming from his Senate testimony on the controversial death of Voi-based teacher and blogger Albert Ojwang.
During a media briefing on Monday, Amin defended his earlier statement to the Senate, claiming that his account of the events leading up to Ojwang’s death was a verbatim reading of entries from official police records, not a personal interpretation or manipulation of facts.
“Some people who do not mean well for the DCI have misinterpreted what I said. I was simply sharing with the senators the timing of the suspect’s arrest, his booking at the police station, and the officers’ visit to the Mbagathi mortuary,” said Amin.
He emphasized that his submission was based directly on the digital Occurrence Book (OB) records.
His death in police custody has raised serious questions, with many Kenyans demanding answers about what happened after his arrest.
The circumstances remain unclear, fueling widespread anger and calls for accountability.
The backlash grew stronger following Amin’s Senate appearance . He was accused of trying to soften the DCI’s role in the case and possibly shielding senior officials from blame.
