A damning dossier submitted by Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi seeking to hold Former DCI boss Ndegwa Muhoro to account for the extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances and murders during his tenure was overlooked by Parliament when they approved the former DCI boss as Kenya's envoy to Malaysia.
In the petition filed in Parliament, Ahmednasir paints Muhoro as a corrupt man who headed an elimination squad within the police — claims he has made before.
"The applicant has acted with grave impunity and disregard to the rule of law; has utterly disregarded the provisions of the Constitution which will render him unsuitable to be appointed as an ambassador or fit to hold any public office," Ahmednassir claimed in a petition dated Tuesday last week.
The senior counsel claimed that during his stint at the DCI, Muhoro ran a shadowy operation within the Directorate of Criminal Investigations that spearheaded extra-judicial killings in Kenya.

“During his tenure as the Director of Criminal Investigations, he formed a special unit within the DCI that undertook extra-judicial killings in Kenya,” Ahmednassir stated.
“He would give the final authority before his officers undertook such exercises," claimed the lawyer popularly.
However, when Muhoro appeared before the departmental committee on Defence and Foreign Relations chaired by Katoo Ole Metito last week, Muhoro denied all the allegations and accused Ahmednassir of harboring a personal vendetta against him.
"Honourable chair, we live in a society where one is treated innocent until proven guilty. The person accusing me has never reported anything at the courts, he only operates on social media so his allegations are unsubstantiated," Muhoro told the committee.
Ahmednassir had alleged that 'it's a known fact' that Muhoro authorized the brutal murder of Muslim clerics in Nairobi, North Eastern and at the Coast citing reports from rights groups, including Haki Africa, Muhuri Kenya and Amnesty International.

Muhoro was among President Uhuru Kenyatta's nine nominees for ambassadorial appointments who were approved by the Defence and Foreign Relations committee.
