City lawyer Danstan Omari has been ejected from the High Court during the ongoing abduction case.
Omari, who is representing the acting Interior Cabinet Secretary, Kipchumba Murkomen, was thrown out from court for contempt.
Justice Mwamuye ordered, “Please obey the court. I have been assured that your party is represented by someone else, so there will be no prejudice.”
In his plea to the judge, Omari stated, “The court has struck me from representing my client
But before he could finish his remarks, Justice Mwamuye interrupted, stating, “I have not struck you from representing your client. I have asked you to leave for the purposes of today’s hearing.”
Omari was representing CS Murkomen, who was named a respondent in the petition filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), in the alleged involvement in abductions.
The former Transport CS subsequently applied to the court to have his name removed from the petition implicating him and other senior government officials.
Earlier today, Justice Mwamuye summoned Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja over allegations linking him to the recent abductions.
The judge ordered the police chief to appear before the court to explain how the mysterious abductions occurred without police intervention.
The court also directed the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to produce details of the vehicles allegedly used in orchestrating the abductions.
“State officers have an obligation, according to the oath of office and the constitution. This court will not hesitate next week if these people are not brought before the court,” the judge said.
“If the six gentlemen are found, I am on duty every day; nothing prevents the respondents from producing them to this High Court or any other High Court in the country,” Judge Mwamuye added.
