Former Interior CS Fred Matiangi’s lawyer Danstan Omari says they have not been served with the alleged summons issued by DCI to appear today for questioning.
Speaking at the Milimani Law Courts, Omari says the summon circulating is not signed and has not been received by either the former CS or his lawyers.
“A proper summon must be signed and witnessed by police officers. Show me one where the police have signed the summons,” he said.
He further said when Matiang’i will be served personally as is required by law, then they will definitely appear at the DCI.
“Any narrative that he has denied to attend to the summons is hot air, show us the signed summons and the DCI must sign the summons,” he said.
He also clarified that the orders extended yesterday do not stop the former CS from being investigated but the investigations must be done within the law.
“Show me the summons signed and Matiangi or his lawyer have put a sign the media was cheated to depict the CS has been summoned,” he says
On Friday Matiang'i has been summoned to appear before the DCI.
In a letter, detective Michael Sang directed Matiang'i to appear before him at Mazingira House at 9.30 am without fail.
"I have reasons to believe that you, Dr. Fred Matiang'i, the former Cabinet secretary, Ministry of Interior and National Co-ordination, is connected to the offence or has information which can assist me in my investigations," detective Sang said.
