Kurugenzi ya Upelelezi wa Makosa ya Jinai, imeomba radhi kwa kuchapisha picha za zamani katika taarifa yake ya msako, ikiwataka washukiwa wanaodaiwa kuhusika na vitendo vya ghasia wakati wa #Maandamano kujisalimisha katika vituo vya Polisi
Kurugenzi hiyo imekosolewa vikali kwa kueneza habari potofu Mtandaoni, baada ya kubainika kuwa baadhi ya picha zilizochapishwa kwenye ukurasa wao wa #Twitter ni za kupotosha kwani hazikuchukuliwa Machi 20, 2023 kama ilivyoelezwa
Baadhi ya picha hizo zilipigwa tarehe za nyuma, nyingine takriban Miaka 10 iliyopita, huku nyingine zikiwa zilipigwa nje ya Mipaka ya #Kenya

DCI apologises to Kenyans over 'image mix up' blunder
According to the DCI, the mix-up was partly occasioned by the overwhelming information that they had received
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has broken its silence after sharp criticism of posting old demonstration images.
The DCI through their social media pages on Saturday apologised for what they termed as a mix-up of images and blamed it on 'overwhelming information' received from the public.
"DCI wishes to unreservedly apologize to the public for the mix-up of images in yesterday’s communication, which was meant to appeal for information regarding the whereabouts of criminal suspects involved in Monday’s illegal demonstrations," the DCI said.
"The mix-up was partly occasioned by the overwhelming information that we had received via the #FichuakwaDCI online platform regarding the reported incidents of violence," the statement reads.
The DCI has they are working on rectifying the mistake and maintaining public confidence in their operations.
DCI on Friday launched a manhunt for suspects alleged to have engaged in acts of violence during the Monday protests.
They alternatively requested the suspects to present themselves at the Serious Crimes offices based at DCI headquarters along Kiambu Road or at their nearest police station before close of business on Friday for further action.
However, it has emerged that some of the images shared on the DCI page are misleading as they were not taken during last week's protests as alleged.
Some of the images purported to be from Monday's anti-government rallies were found to be have been taken on different dates, some as far back as 10 years ago.
Some of the images were also not shot in Kenya while others were not related to the Monday demonstrations.
