Police on Sunday, July 24 raided Deputy President William Ruto’s alleged former private offices in the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) over suspicious activities.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) raided the Transnational building on Sunday afternoon.
At least five police vehicles were seen camping at the entrance of the building located at the heart of the city.
Speaking to members of the press, Nairobi Regional Police Commander James Mugera said the detectives were acting on a tip-off from concerned members of the public that some people were moving servers from the seventh floor of the building to an unknown location.
On arrival, the sleuths confirmed that the servers owned by a company identified as Lampstar Technologies were being moved to Thika after the space was leased to another firm.
The police boss said the office space is currently under renovation.
“We are on this building following up on some information we received during the day that there were some servers which were being moved from the seventh floor of this Transnational building to unknown location. We came here we found out that that place was being renovated and the owners of the servers who are Lampstar Technologies were moving the servers to another location in Thika,” Mugera said.
“Lampstar Technologies were moving the servers to Thika because the place where they have been hosting the servers has been leased out to another tenant.”
DCI’s cybercrime unit seized two servers as investigations into vote-rigging claims continue.
