In a statement on Monday, September 28, DCI specifically denied reports linking one of its officers to an alleged electoral malpractice investigation involving IEBC voter registration materials.

The Directorate described the allegations as false, inaccurate, and without foundation, questioning the timing of the alleged exposé, which came 1 month before the 2027 elections.

"The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has noted, with grave concern, a report aired by KTN News and published by The Standard newspaper purporting to link the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to an alleged interception of a vehicle at the Uganda border, questioning of three occupants of the said vehicle and confiscation of election-related materials," DCI stated.
