That he procedurally lodged a plaint against Ojwang does not make him liable or an accomplice in the killing, Murkomen told the Senate on Wednesday, June 11.

The CS said it was in the place of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) to probe and find Lagat liable or exonerate him based on the findings of a thorough investigations.

"This is an ongoing investigation. To the best of my knowledge so far, the information we only have is that despite being the DIG, Lagat took the step to report what he thought was an act or a crime committed against him. He went as low as reporting this to the DCI. (0:37) And that investigation was done. And in the process of this investigation, somebody has died. Nobody has told me here whether the investigations lead to a particular result. Whether it is to protect him or to exonerate him or to charge him, is not my responsibility. That responsibility rests with the Independent Policing Oversight Authority if they find any culpability," he said.
