Deputy Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli’s request to appear before Justice Lawrence Mugambi on Thursday was rejected since he was engaged in another matter.
Masengeli, who through his lawyers Steve Ogolla and Cecil Miller, had petitioned the court asking to be allowed to appear in court today between 12 pm and 2 pm as his six-month sentence was slated to kick off on Friday.
Instead, Mwita directed that his application be placed before Judge Mugambi on Friday for further directions.
As a result, Masengeli is slated to appear before Mugambi tomorrow for directions on lifting his six-month prison sentence after he got convicted for snubbing court summons seven times.
