Acting Inspector-General of Police Gilbert Masengeli has, for the 5th time, failed to show up in court to explain the recent abduction of three men in Kitengela. 

Justice Lawrence Mugambi has ordered Mr Masengeli to attend court by 3pm today (Thursday), failure to which stern action will be taken against him.

State counsel had requested that Mr Masengeli be excused for today as he was attending a workshop in Mombasa. However, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) demanded that he be punished for contempt as he has chosen to disobey court orders.
