Crime: DCI on high alert as top LandGrabber Agnes Kagure, WashWash King Robert Bior meet

Investigators are on high alert after reports confirmed that Agnes Kagure and businessman Robert Bior, also known as Robert Riagah Ajwang or “Money Bior,” recently held a meeting that has drawn the interest of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

The speculation has already sparked interest, particularly from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), which is known to keep a close watch on individuals linked to financial or property-related controversies.

Such an encounter has raised questions because both Kagure and Bior have faced accusations in the past that continue to cast shadows over their reputations.

Agnes Kagure has long been a familiar figure in Nairobi’s political and business circles. She ran for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat in 2022, unsuccessfully, but her presence in public life has remained strong through her community programs and women empowerment projects under her foundation.

Despite this, her name has been associated with contentious land disputes. One of the most high-profile cases involved a property in Karen estimated to be worth about Sh600 million, which belonged to the late British national Roger Robson.

Kagure claimed she had legally bought the property, but lawyer Guy Spencer Elms, who was managing the estate, challenged her claims.

The matter went to court and in June 2025, the High Court upheld Robson’s will, ruling against Kagure and dismissing allegations that Elms had forged documents.

This case attracted attention not only because of the money involved but also because it exposed issues around the management of estates belonging to foreigners in Kenya.

Kagure has also been mentioned in other controversies, including an allegation in 2024 where she was accused of defrauding a German investor in an oil deal worth Sh142 million.

Although little has been publicly disclosed about the outcome of that matter, it added to a long list of claims that have placed her under constant scrutiny.

Robert Bior, on the other hand, is relatively new in the political scene but is no stranger to controversy.

He has been running an aggressive campaign for the Kasipul parliamentary seat following a by-election.

Known for distributing money to locals during campaigns, Bior has been branded by critics as someone who uses wealth to buy influence. His rise has been clouded by allegations of involvement in “wash wash” schemes, a term widely used in Kenya to describe money laundering and fake currency operations.

In August 2025, reports linked him to fraudulent schemes involving money-printing machines, and claims of investigations into his activities gained attention both in the media and on social platforms.

Bior has not publicly given detailed responses to these allegations and instead continues to focus on his political campaigns in Homa Bay County, where he portrays himself as a champion of community development.

The prospect of Kagure and Bior being linked together in any form, has naturally attracted interest.

Both share a history of allegations involving questionable business dealings, and in a country where land grabbing, inheritance disputes, and financial improprieties have remained major issues, any association between such individuals prompts speculation.

The DCI has not issued a formal statement on the matter, but the agency’s vigilance in matters involving financial crimes and land disputes suggests that they are unlikely to ignore reports of such interactions.

This unfolding situation highlights the challenges Kenya faces in dealing with recurring issues of land ownership disputes and financial crimes.

Property battles, particularly in high-value areas like Karen, remain sensitive, while fraudulent financial practices continue to erode public trust in institutions.

Figures like Kagure and Bior, regardless of the truth behind the accusations they face, operate in this environment where suspicion often follows wealth and ambition.
