Justice Teresia Matheka Monday ordered that Sgt Franklin Kiraithe, a detective from the Serious Crimes Investigations Unit of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, be properly served with orders summoning him to appear in court to explain whether or not he is still interested in pursuing the case and why he has not complied with orders earlier issued by the court.
