The High Court has pardoned Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja after finding that police had failed to comply with a court order barring the barricading of roads during demonstrations.
The court, however, issued a stern warning to Kanja, saying it would not hesitate to impose a custodial sentence should similar conduct occur again.
The judge noted that Kanja had appeared before the court in person alongside other senior police officers and had given an assurance that the order would be respected and complied with going forward.
