Had the office of the acting Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) not swiftly moved to disown a story carried in one of the dailies last Wednesday suggesting an exchange between the chief investigator and Deputy President (DP) Rigathi Gachagua, this would have portrayed a very negative upcoming trend in communication within government.
The daily had quoted the acting DCI Hamisi Massa as telling off Mr Gachagua over his recent castigation of the conduct of DCI officers. Gachagua has had a long run-in with this particular office, especially under the immediate former DCI boss George Kinoti, whom he constantly singled out during the last election campaigns as being used by the President Uhuru Kenyatta's administration to fight politicians allied to William Ruto, now President.
