The Director of Criminal Investigations(DCI) George Kinoti now wants the High Court to declare the recently launched Terrorism Guidelines by the DPP as unconstitutional.

While responding to a petition by Activist Memba Ocharo,Kinoti says that if the court does not act, the move by the DPP will hinder and cripple the investigations on terrorism with ripple effect on the National Security.

Through his lawyer Danstan Omari, the DCI says that his office and that of Anti-Terror Police Unit disassociate themselves from the said regulations in totality and pray that the court puts an abrupt stop to its implementation for the best interest of the country, its citizens ,future generations and ever-integrated global.

Omari says that the guidelines as stated are unconstitutional and the DCI shall never accede to being guided by the same in the investigation of terrorism offenses.

“The authorities who took part in the validation process may have done so without full disclosure or knowledge to the content in the regulations and implications on their institutional mandates,”added Omari.

Kinoti says that he was never involved in the process of coming up with the guidelines.

Kinoti says that they have the best training academy for Terrorism but they were never consulted.

According to the affidavit, the DCI was only made aware of the validation and the launch of the said guidelines on social media through a press release by DPP Noordin Haji without prior notification to him as the principal enforcer of the law on terrorism.

In the case, an activist moved to court challenging the terrorism guidelines arguing that they are discriminatory, the DCI, DPP and the Anti-terror police unit have been listed as respondents.

ANC secretary General Simon Mwangi will now have to explain to Political Parties Dispute Tribunal on Monday why he should not be committed to civil jail over contempt of court.

This is after he failed to honour an order that nullified an Ikolomani MP nominee.

He is expected to appear before PPDT on Monday and explain himself.

In a ruling delivered on May 4 by PPDT, it ruled that Simon Mwangi being the Secretary General of ANC party is found to be in contempt of the judgement and orders of the Tribunal made on April 28.

“A notice to show cause to issue against Mwangi to appear before the PPDT Kakamega bench sitting at Milimani Law court on May 9, 2022”, the Tribunal ruled.

On April 26,2022, David Kubasu, an MP aspirant for Ikolomani filed a complaint against ANC National Election board for awarding his fellow contestant Ramadhan Butichi a certificate to vie for the position. 

He said the Tribunal in its decision on April 28, nullified the nomination certificate issued to Butichi.

“A declaration is hereby issued that the decision of Amani national congress party to issue nomination certificate for Ikolomani to Butichi is illegal and therefore null and void”, the Tribunal ruled.

The Tribunal further directed the party to issue the nomination certificate to Kubasu.

However, ANC sought for stay of execution of the orders issued but on April 30, the Tribunal again dismissed their notice of motion.

Kubasu further filed an application seeking for SG Mwangi to be cited for contempt and be summoned to the Tribunal to show cause why he should not be committed to a civil jail for a term of six months for disobeying the orders.

He also sought orders to have IEBC directed to gazette him as ANC nominee and candidate for the position Ikolomani constituency MP.

Kubasu had argued that the Tribunal had ordered that ANC party and its national election board be restrained from forwarding the name of Butichi as its nominee for the subject position.

He said Mwangi as the party SG, in defiance of the orders of the Tribunal, forwarded the name of Butichi as the party’s nominee.

” The contemnor has brought disrepute to the dignity of the Tribunal and this is a recipe to anarchy”, he said.

Kubasu argued that the Tribunal gave its orders in good time for the respondents through Mwangi to comply within the election timelines.

Mwangi,  however, stated that the application by Kubasu was fatally defective as he neither adduced evidence of the breached order.

He added that Kubasu’s application was based on mere conjecture as no evidence of the alleged submission of Butichi’s name to the IEBC had been provided.

“As such the application has not satisfied the threshold of the grant the orders sought in contempt of court, Mwangi argued.

The law firm of Musyoki Mogaka & Company advocates has written a letter to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission requesting them to investigate former Kajiado Governor David and his running mate Joseph Manje over alleged incitement remarks. 

The firm which acted under the instructions of its client Ednah Kerubo says the remarks made by the two in one of the campaigns in Kiserian Kajiado County on April,2022 was intended to Ethnically discriminate all other communities living in Kajiado preference to Kikuyu and Maasai.

“The said remarks made in public,which singled out the Maasai being the dominant community and Kikuyus to the exclusion of other tribes implicitly offends Artcle 27(4)of the constitution ,2010 that demands inclusivity of all persons without discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin,”says lawyer Danstan Omari acting for Kerubo.

Edna who was questioned by DCI on the same issue yesterday told reporters outside the Kitengela police station that she was summoned over a press statement they had issued together with other residents over remarks made by Kedienye and Manje during a political campaign at Kiserian town

Further her lawyer Danstan Omari pointed out that political statements issued by Aspirants with ethnic profiling were delicate considering what happened in the country in the year 2007.
