Petitioners in the case of missing Tanzanian activist Twaha Mwaipaya have asked the High Court to order Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss Mohamed Amin to appear in person to explain his whereabouts.
Vocal Africa, represented by Martha Karua, argued that although formal service of court orders was done on Friday, police were aware of the disappearance from Sunday when it was first reported.
“It is the business of the police and security agencies to secure the well-being of all Kenyans. Having been notified on Sunday, they would have done their best. The matter was reported widely in press reports. They can’t say they began investigating on Friday,” Karua submitted.
