Fred Matiang'i, a former interior cabinet secretary, claims he has not yet received a legitimate summons for questioning on the alleged police invasion of his Karen home in Nairobi at the beginning of February.
Paul Machari, Shadrack Wambui, and Danstan Omari, attorneys for Dr. Matiang'i, said on Friday that their client had not received a personal summons to appear before DCI agents (DCI).
As a result, they claimed, Dr. Matiang'i did not visit the DCI for questioning as had been reported in the media. At the Milimani High Court, the attorneys told the reporters that summonses needed to be personally served and signed by three police officers in order to be valid.
"Matiang'i has not yet received personal service, as required by the law. He was unable to honor the summons, which appeared to have been made on River Road, according to Mr. Omari.
"The DCI deceived the entire media community and Kenyans into thinking that Dr. Matiang'i had received a legitimate summons.
The new DCI leader, Amin Mohammed, is working in a "clandestine manner," according to the attorney, and this "left a lot to be desired." He "smirks of ineptitude," they alleged, and this will prompt efforts to have him removed from office.
"The DCI must act within the bounds of the law because he is a product of the law and was chosen in accordance with the law. In the absence of that, we will submit a petition for his dismissal "said Mr. Omari.
The attorney added that Dr. Matiang'i is "very much around" and conducting himself calmly in his capacity as a private person. "We will generate him when needed. I can reach him by phone right now, "Mr. Omari stated that since he had been given an anticipatory bail of Sh200,000, police could not detain him.
On February 23, the High Court extended the orders preventing the former minister's detention.
