Thursday, September 19,2024 - Acting Inspector General of National Police Service (NPS) Gilbert Masengeli has pleaded with High Court Judge Chacha Mwita to allow him to appear in court on Thursday to avoid serving a six-month prison sentence.
Masengeli was last week
sentenced to six months in Prison for disobeying court orders by Justice
Lawrence Mugambi.
Masengeli through Advocate Cecil
Miller and Steve Ogolla, told Justice Chacha Mwita that their client is now able to
appear in court between 12 noon and 2 pm.
The file was placed before Judge
Mwita because Judge Mugambi is part of a three-judge bench handling a different
case.
He was unable to attend to the
same.
Masengeli's legal team pleaded
with the court to allow their client to appear in court today as the six-month
jail sentence is supposed to take effect tomorrow.
"We are praying that you
give directions so that we appear before Mugambi today," Masengeli said
through Miller.
But Justice Chacha Mwita directed
the file be placed before Judge Mugambi tomorrow for further directions as the
Judge is engaged in a bench matter.
