Main Story:
Justice Chacha Mwita has ordered Inspector General Japhet Koome and DCI boss Amin Mohamed to urgently produce Ndiang’ui Kinyagia, a man who has reportedly been missing under suspicious circumstances. The judge made it clear that no excuse will be tolerated.
“I am not interested in your drama. Produce Ndiang’ui Kinyagia, whether dead or alive,” he said during a tense court session.
The court’s ruling comes amid a wave of criticism against law enforcement agencies over increasing reports of abductions and forced disappearances, particularly targeting activists and political dissenters. Authorities have been accused of failing to protect citizens and evading accountability.
Ndiang’ui Kinyagia’s case has stirred public concern, especially among civil society groups who are calling for an end to extrajudicial practices. Justice Mwita’s directive sends a strong message to state institutions that silence and delays will not be tolerated.
Justice Mwita dismissed attempts by police to sidestep responsibility, insisting that every Kenyan life matters and the rule of law must be upheld. His statement underscores the judiciary’s growing role in challenging systemic abuses.
When justice speaks with this level of urgency, it’s a wake-up call: no Kenyan should ever vanish without a trace.
