The Judicary, the Police and Gilbert Deya
In the course of the week, Juja MP Hon. William Kabogo is said to have obtained Court orders barring the police from arresting him. The orders, issued by Hon. Justice Ojwang, also issued anticipatory bail to the Honourable MP.
Most surprisingly, the said MP has now been arrested, and has been behind bars.
Yesterday, the High Court is said to have issued Orders directing that the MP be produced in Court for the State to show cause why he should not be released.
It has also been reported in the Pressthat the Commissioner for Police Gen. Ali has been summoned before the High Court in the same matter.
If all the above goings on be true, then it is a sad day for this country, that the State would go ahead to arrest a sitting MP when a Court of law has ordered otherwise.
Perhaps this is evidence on the alleged tussle between Hon. John Michuki, Minister for the time being in charge of Internal Security, and the Judiciary.
Recently, the said Minister criticised the judiciary for releasing criminals who should be behind bars.
The Chief Justice then came out to state that the burden is on the state to ensure that cases are properly investigated.
Clearly, a most disconcerting situation.
Meanwhile, Mary Deya, the wife of London based televangelist Gilbert Deya, was yesterday found guilty of stealing an un-named child, previously purported to be a miracle baby. Hopefully, this extortion saga from women who have not as yet given birth, shall be brought to an end.
