The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has forwarded files recommending the prosecution of two Members of Parliament (MPs) linked to violent protests in June this year.
According to a letter seen by The Standard, the DCI has named Embakasi Central MP Benjamin Mwangi and Embakasi North MP James Gakuya as being involved in the planning, mobilisation, and financing of the protests.
