Busia Governor Paul Otuoma, Busia Woman Representative Catherine Omanyo and Presidential Advisor Arthur Osiya have recorded statements with detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) as investigations into the activities of the notorious "Jobless" gang intensify following recent violence in Busia Town.
The three leaders were summoned by detectives last week at the Busia County DCI offices to assist investigators probing the group's alleged involvement in a series of violent incidents that have rocked Marachi Estate and surrounding areas.
Western Regional Police Commander George Seda and Regional Criminal Investigations Officer Douglas Chikandah confirmed that the leaders' statements form part of ongoing investigations aimed at dismantling the criminal network and establishing whether any political figures had links to the outlawed group.
