Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet have been summoned to appear in court to show cause why they should not be held in contempt after they failed to reinstate Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka's security as directed by the court.
High Court Judge Roselyn Aburili issued the order to the two top government officials on Tuesday.
The High Court on February 9 blocked the government from withdrawing the former vice president’s his security detail and revoking his firearm.
Lady Justice Aburili also barred the State from arresting the National Super Alliance (NASA) co-principal with respect to having the firearm.
Kalonzo sued the government for revoking his firearm certificate and withdrawal of security detail over the swearing in of Raila Odinga as the people’s president.
He sued CS Matiang’i, IG Boinnet, the Chief Licensing Officer Central Firearm Bureau and the Attorney General.
The Wiper leader faulted the January 30 directive to withdraw his security at his residences and revoking his firearm certificate as unreasonable and illegal.
