The police failed to present before court businessman Philip Aroko who is being held in connection with killing of Kasipul MP Charles Were.

The police were on Thursday, May 8, expected to present the businessman, who they say is a person of interest in the matter, before JKIA Law Courts.  Aroko's lawyer Danstan Omari protested the police action, accusing them of violating the rights of his client.

Aroko was summoned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on the night of Wednesday, May 7, with the authorities terming him a person of interest in their investigations.

After presenting himself and a subsequent detention at the Kasarani Police Station, it was widely expected hat Aroko would be arraigned on Thursday.
