Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen's lawyer, Danstan Omari, was Wednesday ordered out of the courtroom for disrupting proceedings in the abductions case.
Omari interrupted fellow advocate Evans Ogada, who was making submissions to halt the proceedings, citing the absence of Inspector General (IG) Douglas Kanja and NTSA Director General (DG) George Njao. Paul Nyamodi, representing IG Kanja, informed the court that his client could not attend due to other pressing security-related matters. Nyamodi stated that he could not reach Kanja, but Kanja's office indicated he had left early for an urgent security meeting.
Nyamodi said he was unaware of the meeting's details, adding that Kanja should be excused from today's proceedings and granted 14 days to facilitate statement-taking and conclude investigations. Even as everyone awaits to see if Kanja will show up or not, his lawyer said that the abducted were not in police custody, adding that the five men have been freed by their abductors, if they were abducted at all.
Nyamondi argued that the responsibility to have the five who were abducted brought to court lies with their lawyers.
