Preliminary reports had suggested that Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) officers were after the former CS, but EACC chief executive Twalib Mbarak said that his team had nothing to do with the alleged raid.
Police officers on Wednesday Evening entered the Karen home of Matiang’i few minutes before 10pm and were attempting to force their way in.
