High Court rejects bid by police chiefs Kanja and Amin not to appear in person
respondents to answer the question of the whereabouts of three men who were abducted in Mlolongo

The High Court has maintained its decision requiring the Inspector General of police Douglas Kanja and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Director Mohamed Amin appear before the court in person.
The court had earlier granted an order for the respondents to appear in person before the court to answer the question of the whereabouts of three men who were abducted in Mlolongo within Machakos County without any trace.
High Court judge Justice Chacha Mwita gave orders twice for the respondents to appear in and failed to obey.
The three abductees are Justus Mutumwa, Martin Mwau, and Karani Muema whom the court had ordered to be availed in court alive or dead.
The respondents’ lawyer Paul Nyamondi asked the court to give a stay order for the ruling awaiting the respondents to appeal the decision.
The court declined the application for stay citing that the court cannot entertain an appeal to its own ruling.
Justice Mwita ordered the respondents to appear physically before the court on January 30, 2025.
