Mathira Member of Parliament Rigathi Gachagua has asked the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to stop playing politics in Nominated MP David Sankok son’s death investigation.
Speaking today after condoling with Sankok’s family, Gachagua said as much as the investigations were not clear, the DCI should allow the family to mourn their child.
“DCI should give them time and only come back after the burial. Subjecting the family to recording many statements is inhuman,” he said.
“We urge the DCI to exercise understanding and let them bury their child in peace. Let the officers exercise professionalism.” He added.
Gachagua asked the agency to be empathetic with the family since they are having a hard time citing that losing a son at a young age is very traumatic.
“The family has done everything needed…post-mortem has also been done and investigations concluded on cause of death,” he said
Memusi Sankok, 15, allegedly shot himself dead with a gun last week.
Sankok was grilled again on Thursday over the inconsistency of the death of his son in Narok county.
The Police records indicate that Sankok had to be grilled a second time over what the record termed as ‘inconsistencies’.
At least ten people, who include family members and workers have already given their account of the events of the day.
The family members who have recorded a statement are Sankok’s wife and children.
