Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Suba East Mp Junet Mohammed has welcomed the decision to disband the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) Special Unit.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, he commended Acting Inspector General Noor Gabow decision to get rid of the elite squad.<\/p>\n

‘This is very good Bwana IG but we hope this is not the beginning of the formation of a NEW special Unit loyal to the new Regime,” he stated.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the Acting IG disbanded the units following revelations in an ongoing probe into the missing of two Indians and their driver they may have information on the same.<\/p>\n

It was disbanded with immediate effect following a directive from the acting Inspector General of police Noor Gabow.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll officers serving in the disbanded unit have been recalled to DCI headquarters for further instructions,\u201d said a statement from the DCI.<\/p>\n

They were told to hand over their guns and other gadgets they have been using for further analysis.<\/p>\n

The DCI Special Service Unit (SSU) was formed on December 31, 2019 after Flying Squad was disbanded by former DCI boss George Kinoti.<\/p>\n

This was in a move aimed at ensuring effective and efficient prevention of crime in the country.<\/p>\n

Kinoti said the Flying Squad Unit would be replaced by the Sting Squad Headquarters (SSH) \u2014 a new unit that will be comprised of only 50 highly-trained officers who will be based in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith effect from today, the Flying Squad Unit has been disbanded. This marks the end of the Flying Squad Unit and no officer will present himself or herself to the public as such,\u201d he said then<\/p>\n

The SSH was tasked with handling cases such as armed robberies, kidnappings, motor vehicle theft as well as sale and distribution of contraband and substandard goods.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the Special Crime Prevention Unit (SCPU) was renamed and scaled down to a smaller unit only based at the DCI headquarters in Nairobi.<\/p>\n
