I am ready to appear in court, says Masengeli

Acting Inspector General of Police, Gilbert Masengeli, has finally yielded to the directive of Justice Lawrence Mugambi and is set to appear in court on Thursday (today) to redeem himself.

Masengeli, through lawyer Cecil Miller and Steve Ogolla, informed High Court Presiding Judge Chacha Mwita that their client is now able to appear in court between 12pm and 2pm.

The case was referred to Justice Mwita because Justice Mugambi is part of a three-judge panel dealing with a different case.

He couldn’t take care of it.

Masengeli’s legal team has asked the court to allow their client to appear in court today as the six-month jail sentence is supposed to take effect tomorrow.

“We pray that you will give instructions so that we can appear before Mugambi today,” Masengeli said through Miller.

But Justice Chacha Mwita ordered that the case be placed before Justice Mugambi tomorrow for further instructions as the judge is engaged in a procedural matter.
