Mwangi said that he received a call from the DCI Nakuru branch on Monday, instructing him to attend at the office on Thursday, July 3.
Mwangi responded to the call and was questioned for allegedly arranging the chaos in Nakuru during the June 25 riots.
The former CEO was also accused of deliberately planning and funding similar turmoil for the forthcoming July 7 protests.
The former CEO claims that the allegations are political witch hunts designed to prevent him from abandoning his gubernatorial bid.
He has, however, stated that such measures will not scare him or his Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP).
The leaders have admitted that there are intentions to hijack the Saba Saba protests and incite disorder and looting, which they are now accused of coordinating.

Mwangi has emerged as a key figure in Nakuru, particularly after being backed for the county’s top seat by elders from several areas in the county.
The elders stated that after careful consideration, they had chosen Mwangi as the most formidable candidate capable of representing the interests of all Nakuru County citizens.
The former NHIF boss has also been active in DCP, the party led by former DP Rigathi Gachagua. He is set to run for governor with the party.
Meanwhile, Police Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga has stated that the NPS has yet to get notification of the scheduled June 7 protests known as Saba Saba Day.
