The High Court will at 1 pm rule on whether it will punish Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli for disobeying orders involving the disappearance of three people in Kitengela.
Former LSK President Nelson Havi asked Justice Lawrence Mugambi to commit Masengeli to civil jail for a period of six months for defying court orders.
"The conduct of IG must be dealt with by the court and in the strongest terms possible," he said.
"We ask you to convict the holder of the office of IG for contempt of court. Sentence him to the highest penal consequence. The office he holds is not a personal but public office," he added.
Chief State counsel Charles Mutinda on the other hand told the court there is no basis for conviction of the acting IG.
"We have offered an explanation and even gone further to have a senior officer appear in court and tender an explanation," he said.
He explained that Masengeli is in Wajir and was not able to appear in court.
