Outgoing Acting Inspector General of Police, Gilbert Masengeli, is now in limbo, with Friday being the deadline for him to appear in court.
Masengeli through his lawyers Cecil Miller and Steve Ogola on Thursday made attempts to appear before Justice Lawrence Mugambi but hit a snag when duty Judge, Justice Chacha Mwita informed them that Judge Mugambi was part of a three-Judge bench handling another matter.
Judge Mwita ordered the file be placed before Justice Mugambi today so that he can order when and what times parties should appear before him.
The latest move came as Civil society organizations in Mombasa called for the application of citizens’ arrests in the case of outgoing Acting IG Gilbert Masengeli.
Meanwhile, Former Laikipia East MP Antony Mutahi Kimaru is off the hook in a case where he was charged with stealing the title deed of a parcel of land valued at Ksh 18.5 million in Nanyuki.
Milimani Chief Magistrate Bernard Ochoi said the prosecution did not prove beyond reasonable doubt whether the former legislator stole the property of Livia Le Poer Trench.
Kimaru had also been charged with forgery, making false document and obtaining land registration fraudulently.
