What you need to know:

  • The DCI wrote to the Ministry of Interior’s State Department for Citizen Services via a letter Ref DCI/IB/SEC/4/3 VOL.VIII , seeking details on the travel history of the embattled former “Super CS” .
  • Data from aviation website FlightAware indicates that the aircraft, a Boeing 777-300 ER twin jet, left the JKIA at four minutes past midnight on February 19.

The whereabouts of former Interior minister Fred Matiang’i were last night unclear following revelations he left the country on February 19 — four days before the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) announced summons for him to appear for questioning.

A leaked letter addressed to the DCI yesterday indicated Dr Matiang’i had left through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on KLM flight KL566 destined for Amsterdam, Netherlands.  Reports last night indicated he was in London.
