The reasons behind the summons are still unknown.

He questioned why junior coalition members were being summoned by DCI.

Sifuna said if the government has a problem with Azimio leader Raila Odinga, they should move to arrest him and not intimidate Azimio members. 

Sifuna has been vocal about the recent protests that have left a trail of destruction.

He has also made appearances in the Azimio-led demonstrations in Nairobi.

He accused police of causing chaos witnessed in the City as Azimio supporters took to the streets to protest the high cost of living and alleged election malpractices.

"Police have turned what was peaceful #Maandamano into ugly confrontation," he said.
