The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is facing strong criticism from senior lawyers after confiscating client files and work equipment from advocate Judy Koech during an ongoing investigation. Lawyers are challenging the DCI's actions, calling them unlawful and disruptive, and demanding the immediate release of the seized documents.

• Senior lawyers Danstan Omari, Ndegwa Njiru, and Isack appeared in court on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, to argue against the seizures.
• The confiscated items include government title deeds, personal documents, and work tools essential for Koech's duties as both a land registrar and advocate, leaving property owners without their documents.
• Ndegwa Njiru highlighted that a client’s vehicle seized during the raid has not been returned, despite a court order, and Ksh 500,000 belonging to a client named Francis was also seized without clear justification.
• The legal team raised concerns about breached client confidentiality due to the seizure of files unrelated to the investigation.
