Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang'i, on April 3, 2018, denied before the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, to have received any court order concerning Miguna Miguna's case.
Dr Matiang'i and Inspector General of police Joseph Boinnet were ordered to appear in court in person regarding the controversial return of lawyer Miguna Miguna
Justice George Odunga had ordered the two to appear in court by Wednesday afternoon last week, an order that fell into 'deaf ears'. None of the two government officers appeared in court until today
"I have not been served with any court order. I am not aware there have been attempts to serve me, or any of these officers, with court orders," said Dr. Matiang'i
The denial by CS Matiang'i attracted mixed reactions from Kenyans. These are some of the reactions:
scion: That's a response from a grown-up man, who gets paid from my taxes every month? What idiosyncrasies is this?
josiah a. omotto: CS Matiang'i lives in Kenya; listens to the radio; reads papers; is not hermit. He ought to spare us such pre-primary school theatrics:-
Ian olendo: hehe. ameona mshahara imekam ikiwa less. akauliza bank akaambiwa Justice Odunga alisema ulambe lolo
Calystus Murunga: It's really sad to hear such sentiments from a senior officer.
OKARI JOSPHAT: Kisha useme people to uphold rule of law.shame on yu.
Lewis: I thought Dr. Matiangi was a Christian and a strong believer who knows to lie is a sin. He doesn't know about Court order! Really!!!
Samuel Samuel: I like it matiangi how comes shld protect the law yet they want it to be overstepped for the release of miguna kwani who is he akwende
lydiah: If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? Proverbs 24:12 NKJV
zab!: This Mr is telling lies with a straight face.. smh
Mwenda: Then what did you appeal???
