Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition has asked Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to retract his statement that DCI should keep off state offices.
The Coalition maintained that they will keep working to preserve the independence of the police and all other independent institutions.
"We demand the immediate retraction of those backward orders and reiterate our resolve to defend the independence of the police," Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka said.
He spoke on Saturday during the Azimio unveiling of the senate and National Assembly leadership at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Memorial Centre, Upper Hill.
Kalonzo added that the remarks were an indication that the Kenya Kwanza Alliance is clearing the path for fraud.
"We heard with consternation remarks from the UDA brigade calling on the DCI to keep off public offices and retreat to their headquarters," he said.
He added:
"Apart from interfering with the independence of National Police Service (NPS), we take such edicts to mean the room is now being officially created for the looting of public resources to go without hindrance."
On Thursday, while addressing a governor's induction in Mombasa, Gachagua asked DCI officers to wait for crimes to be reported at the Directorate Headquarters along Kiambu road instead of pursuing suspects at state offices.
He said having detectives in national and county offices is a "poison" to the officers' working atmosphere.
"They have no business in government offices, hovering all over has created a toxic environment for service delivery," he said.
