Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja on Tuesday, January 21, assured the media that he will present himself to the courts when he is ready.

His assurance came days after he failed to heed three consecutive court summons that sparked outrage over respect towards the Judiciary by senior public officers. "When the time comes for me to appear in court I will appear.

When I am ready I will appear before the courts," Kanja told reporters who pinned him down during a press conference in Kwale County.

The police boss alongside Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Director Mohammed Amin had snubbed court summons thrice in what many viewed as a blatant disregard for the rule of law.
