In another display of impunity, Inspector General (IG) of Police Douglas Kanja and Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Amin Mohamed once again failed to honour summons to appear in court yesterday. 

This was the sixth time the two policemen failed to comply with High Court orders to appear and clarify the ongoing enforced disappearances of Kenyans, allegedly carried out by their juniors, a matter that has gripped the nation and raised serious concerns about the State’s role in it.

On Monday, the High Court, led by Justice Chacha Mwita, had directed Kanja and Mohamed to appear in person yesterday and provide answers regarding the fate of three missing men: Justus Mutumwa, Martin Mwau and Karani Muema, allegedly abducted in Mlolongo in December last.
