Two former Kenya Defence Forces officers, who are said to be serving in the Russian military, have been handed a temporary relief after the High Court in Nairobi barred the Directorate of Criminal Investigations from accessing their private medical records. Court records indicated that DCI had written to the two hospitals seeking the medical records of the two former military officers in connection with the recruitment of Kenyans to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war. The DCI detectives had contended that the information was critical to their probe into how ex-Kenyan army officers were recruited to join Russian forces in the ongoing war. According to the police, the individuals were allegedly promised job opportunities in Russia but in reality were to be sent to fight in Ukraine for Russia. The police claimed that the individual was accused of coordinating the victims' travel to Russia in September and October this year.
