On July 22, 2021, following allegations of corruption and abuse of office, the DCI acting on intelligence and as guided under Article 244(b) of the Constitution engaged Justice Said Juma Chitembwe, Justice Aggrey Muchelule among other accomplices to assist with investigations.
As the debate on last week’s raid of some judges’ chambers by DCI sleuths rages on, a concerned Kenyan Joseph Mutua, had this to say in a county-based newspaper.
“How comes lack of sufficient evidence is cited only when it comes to high-profile cases? While serving in Mombasa, this judge handled the cases of narcotic trafficking facing the two sons of Ibrahim Akasha, the drug baron who had been shot dead in Amsterdam, acquitted them,” Mutua said.

“When they were extradited to the US, the Federal Court took less than one year to send them to prison. One is serving 25 years and the other 23 years,” he adds.
The said Judges cooperated with the investigating team, recorded their statements and left to continue with their duties. The investigations are ongoing.
The matter was mentioned on July 29, 2021, and the court extended the orders directed that the respondents file their responses within 15 days and serve all parties.
The case will be mentioned on the 18th of October this year.
