Carry documents
Notably, only residents of Kiambu and Nairobi counties were invited to the DCI on the stated date with a date yet to be announced for other counties.
"Carry with you a bank statement showing withdrawal/deposits, agreements, deposit slips, receipts and any other document relevant to the dealing," the statement by the DCI stated.
The invitation by the DCI comes barely a week after the controversial founder of the Sacco, David Ngare Kariuki alias Gakuyo presented himself to the DCI after claims circulated online that he was being sought by the police.

One of Gakuyo’s lawyers, Danson Omari, said the DCI confirmed that there was only one complaint against their client.

The complaint came from the ministry of Trade, and police informed Gakuyo’s defence team about it only five minutes before they arrived at the headquarters.
It is alleged that Gakuyo moved Sh1.5 billion from Ekeza Sacco to an account operated by the Sacco’s sister company Gakuyo Real Estate without members consent.
