Deputy President William Ruto has insisted that only the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss George Kinoti can take his statement over an alleged assassination plot, sources have said.

Mr Kinoti is said to have assigned the head of Economic Crime Unit Michael Sang to lead the investigation into the alleged plot designed to scuttle Dr Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid that has sucked in three Cabinet secretaries.
