Wednesday, September 4, 2024 - A family is seeking justice after their kin, who worked at the Treasury, died under mysterious circumstances.
The deceased Treasury official identified as Evans Chirchir
had expressed fears for his life over a Sh286 million tender before he died.
According to Chirchir’s lawyers Philip Keaton and Felix
Langat, his body was discovered at the mortuary with a head injury.
The lawyers said Chirchir did not return to his home over
the weekend, causing panic in his family.
When his office colleagues enquired, they were informed that
he had accompanied friends to Machakos.
His brother went to search for him and after failing to find
him at hospitals and police stations, they went to court and sued the Inspector
General of Police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to produce
him.
However, before the case was heard in court on September 3,
2024, Chirchir’s body was found dumped at the Machakos Level 5 Hospital
mortuary.
His family and lawyers believe that he was murdered.
A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out to
establish the cause of his death.
Evans' lawyer Philip Keaton took to his Facebook page and
gave DCI 24 hours to crack in and demystify his mysterious death.
“Today we received shocking news about the death of Evans
Chirchir; a young man who was murdered by briefcase buccaneers and
tenderpreneurs at the Ministry of Finance.
“Evans went
missing on Friday 31st and as we prepared to file an habeas corpus application
this morning, we got the rude shock.
“The tendering
and procurement process in certain institutions has taken a dangerous route. We
urge all the investigative agencies to apprehend the culprits and dispense
justice.
“The DCI have 24 hours to crack in and demystify this mysterious death,” he posted.
