Brave and confident officers,Director of criminal Investigations,George Kinoti and Inspector General Boinnet have faced many threats while in their seats.
Among legal hits that are thrown on them,a new one has been presented seeking their six months jail term each.
Through Bunge La Mwananchi,activists president Henry Shitanda on Tuesday moved to court to sort the jailing of the two powerful citizens.
Questions were raised following the continual posting of suspects’ mugshots on social media despite a High Court order barring it in 2018.
“Joseph Boinnet and George Kinoti are committed to civil jail for a term of six months for contempt of court for deliberate breach of the court orders issued by this court on December 7, 2018,” stated an excerpt of the file.
The High Court on December 7, 2018, moved to bar the IG and DCI bosses from posting mugshots of suspects on social media before they are arraigned.
However, the same has happened with the DCI recently posting Nyeri Senior Resident Magistrate, Pauline Omung’ala Chesang, alongside two police officers and a retired intelligence officer as suspects.
“The respondents have no regard to the dignity and authority of this court and they have defied the orders of this court with impunity,” the lawyer asserted.
