In courts

Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and DCI Mohamed Amin are today expected to appear in court to show cause why they should not be cited for contempt.

Both Kanja and Amin were last month ordered by Justice Diana Kavedza to produce six suspects who were abducted in December 2024.

The orders had required that the victims be produced before court on December 31, 2024, but that did not happen.

As such, Justice Bahati Mwamuye directed that they personally attend court today to show cause why they should not be cited for contempt for failing to heed the orders.

The judge said it was clear that the IG and DCI did comply with the orders of the court.

The two were sued alongside the Director of Public Prosecutions and Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen.

The petitioners including the Law Society of Kenya and the Kenya Commission on Human Rights had sought orders for the authorities to produce six youths who were abducted in December.

So far, the victims Ronny Kiplagat, Billy Mwangi, Peter Muteti, Bernard Kavuli, and Kelvin Muthoni have been released.

Only Steve Mbisi remains uncounted for.

The Inspector General is also expected to explain Mbisi's whereabouts to the court.
