Abductions: IG Kanja, DCI Amin now risk conviction after court snub

CS Murkomen, IG Kanja, DCI boss Amin fail to appear in court

What you need to know:

  • Justice Bahati Mwamuye had on December 31 summoned the Interior CS and the police chiefs to appear before him personally.
  • Instead, they sent lawyers to represent them before court, a move that was rejected by the judge.

The High Court has ordered Kenya’s top security chiefs, Inspector-General of Police Douglas Kanja and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss Mohammed Amin, to appear in court on January 27 to give a report on recent abductions or risk sentencing and conviction.

This comes after the duo and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen on Wednesday failed to appear in court as directed by Justice Bahati Mwamuye. Instead, they sent lawyers to represent them, a move that was rejected by the judge.
