The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is facing criticism for delays in arresting eight suspects accused of defrauding a Mombasa businessman of Sh10.5 million.

Among those named in the case is a senior procurement officer at the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI).

Prosecutors recommended the arrest of the suspects on March 9, 2026, after investigations linked them to a scheme to defraud Dennis Monari.
