Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat has resumed office today as the High Court declined to issue conservatory orders barring him from work.
UK-based activist Eliud Matindi, had gone to court seeking orders to bar Lagat from returning to office or performing any functions of the office, pending the hearing and determination of a constitutional petition.
Instead, Justice Chacha Mwita directed Lagat, the Attorney General Dorcas Oduor, and the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) to file their responses by July 23, after which the court will issue further directions.
Lagat was reportedly back to office soon after Chacha made the ruling.
