The Director of Public Prosecutions has come on the spot after city lawyer Philp Murgor accused him of leaking information about the arrest of one President Uhuru Kenyatta’s cousins.
The DCI was reported by a local daily of arresting and interrogating a prominent Nairobi socialite and beautician with regard to the murder of Dutch tycoon Philip Murgor.
Murgor told the court that the journalist who wrote the story informed him that the leak had come from the DCI George Kinoti – further asking the judge to hold Kinoti in contempt of court.
“There’s a publication that a second cousin of President Uhuru Kenyatta has been arrested. I called the journalists and he said he was given the information by the DCI,” Philip Murgor said on Tuesday.
