In an affidavit filed in the High Court through chief inspector Felix Banzi, the detectives managed to recover Ksh5 million (in the form of USD 50,000) from a lady present at Muchelule's chambers and Ksh700,000 (in the form of USD 7,000) from Chitembwe's chambers at Milimani Law Courts.
According to Banzi, he alleged that detectives received complaints from two judges over bribery allegations.
The detectives further received details that a meeting between select judges on Wednesday, July 21, led to a Ksh6 million figure being arrived at, and the amount was to be delivered to a particular judge's residence at 7:00 pm.
However, the venue was changed on short notice and rescheduled to the following day at around 7:45 am in one of the chambers at Milimani Law Courts
Further, the DCI disputed the arrest and harassment claims of the two high court judges on Thursday afternoon, July 22. The directorate claimed that detectives only requested to accompany the two justices to DCI headquarters in order to record their statements over bribery allegations.
"We proceeded to Muchelule's chamber and upon introducing ourselves as required, progressed to undertake a lawful search at the chamber and thereafter at Chitembwe's chamber.”
"The search was undertaken in the presence of the relevant officers and persons in the chambers as evidenced by the relevant search certificates duly signed by the persons present," read part of the affidavit.”
