The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has officially refuted claims that Kenyan government officials were involved in a fraudulent scheme at Harambee House. The DCI stated that the seven arrested individuals were "purely external fraudsters" who targeted foreign investors.

• The alleged fraud involved defrauding two Swedish nationals of USD 470,750 in a fake tender for ambulances.
• The DCI, led by Director John Marete, emphasized the effectiveness of inter-agency collaboration in apprehending the suspects.
• The suspects posed as officials from the Ministry of Interior, National Treasury, and Ministry of Health, luring victims with forged documents within Harambee House.
