Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja on Wednesday failed to appear in court to explain the ongoing investigations into alleged abductions, citing his engagement in other security-related duties.
His lawyer, Paul Nyamondi, stated that the IG has sent Paul Wachira, an Assistant Inspector General and Deputy Director of the Investigations Branch at the DCI to represent him. "It is the request of my client that Mr.
Wachira be allowed to make a presentation to this court on the status of the investigations into the complaints related to the six individuals who were allegedly abducted," Nyamondi stated.
Nyamondi further mentioned that both the IG and the DCI are keen to record statements from the individuals who have been released, in order to conclude the investigations into the cases of missing persons. "My instructions are that none of the petitioners have presented themselves at the police stations where they were reported missing.
