Stolen Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) materials worth over Sh1 million were on Saturday found at the home of Naromoru MCA Martin Matu.
The DCI has
summoned the ward representative to report to the Railways DCIO on Monday. The politician faces the charge of stealing
several rolls of Geogrid - material used to enforce concrete.
"The materials were stolen from Nairobi SGR yard.
The MCA has been asked to report to the DCI railways on Monday," the DCI said in a tweet.
In May 2017, while launching Madaraka Express in Mombasa, President Uhuru Kenyatta warned that SGR vandals will be charged with a capital offence.
"I acknowledge that the presidency gives me the right to pass laws...those found vandalising the infrastructure...I will pass a law for them to be hanged," Uhuru said then.
Inspector General Joseph Boinnet had also warned against and forms of vandalism or theft of SGR materials, an act they said amounts to economic sabotage.
