The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Renson Ingongo, has been given 30 days to trace and present retired police officer Mohammed Baa in court to face charges over the deaths of Baby Samantha Pendo and 39 protesters in Kisumu.
Justice Margaret Muigai, on Thursday, also ordered the Inspector General of Police to submit a formal report on the missing officer within the same timeframe to allow the court to proceed with the case in his absence.
The judge issued the directive, noting that Baa's absence was causing undue delays and that the court is permitted under the law to try the case in his absence.
The six-month-old baby was allegedly killed by police during the post-2017 poll skirmishes.
