The High Court in Nakuru has blocked a lower court from delivering a ruling against the infamous police impostor Joshua Waiganjo.
High Court Justice Joel Ngugi has blocked the ruling against Waiganjo and two others, pending hearing and determination of a case filed by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Justice Ngugi stayed the proceedings before the magistrate court after the DPP filed an application accusing the lower court of prematurely closing the case against Waiganjo before the investigating officers testified.
Judge Ngugi has certified the matter as urgent and has directed the DPP to file and serve their application to the respondents in the case.
The DPP argues that the lower court erred in closing the prosecution’s case before its last three witnesses gave their testimonies.
“The office of the DPP is seeking the reopening of the prosecution’s case and allow three witnesses Fatuma Hadi, Gideon Kimilu and Joseph Ngisa all who are Superintendent of police to testify and present exhibits in the matter,” the DPP says in court documents.
He also accuses the magistrate court of being partial in handling the case, stating that the prosecution was denied time to present its witnesses.
The magistrate court was on Wednesday set to rule on whether the respondents have a case to answer or not. The case was closed after 37 witnesses testified.
The matter will be heard on March 28th, 2019.
Ajabu ni kuwa huyu ndugu…
Ajabu ni kuwa huyu ndugu yetu Waiganjo alikubaliwa na mwenyekiti wa IEBC Mkristo WAFULA CHEBUKATI kugombea kiti kwenye uchaguzi uliopita.
Ni lazima WAFULA CHEBUKATI aondolewe kwenye madaraka aliyo nayo sasa kabla ya uchaguzi ujao. Jambo hili ni muhimu sana iwapo Kenya itaweza kuwachagua viongozi wapya ambao wataifanya Kenya kuwa nchi ya heshima na utu tena.
Hapa ni wazi kwamba hawa…
Hapa ni wazi kwamba hawa mafisi watakuliwa Simba, ati mahakama ya chini ilitarajia kuwatupa mbali hao mashahidi wawili wa polisi ndio waamue ya kwamba Waiganjo hana kesi ya kujibu halafu waitupe mbali na kumwachilia huru. Ni wasi ya kwamba hii kesi inawahusu mafisi wakumbwa polisini na pongezi na heshima iende kwa DCI venye wamesimamisha hio ukora ndio wachomoe waasi wanaojificha humo ndani.
Inshalla
Waiganjo is a Kenyan genius…
Waiganjo is a Kenyan genius. Let’s us give this man the credit he deserves. He rose from a village vigilante to became Kenya’s Deputy Police Commissioner in Charge of Kenya Security without ever having Police training, leave alone any formal education. He was “Matiangi” of Kibaki’s government
Waiganjo must be working in…
Waiganjo must be working in the prison kitchen. The way he has added weight tells it all.
Jamani! Ikiwa matapeli kama…
Jamani! Ikiwa matapeli kama Waiganjo wanaheshimiwa
na watu ambao wanasema wana shahada ya uzamivu kwa utapeli wao nchini, basi, Kenya yetu imemalizika kabisa!
This is a typical problem…
This is a typical problem with our reporters. If the intention was to inform, the reporter would’ve informed us of why the lower court was not accepting evidence from these 3. The lower court did not just block the DPP witnesses, there was a reason. The higher court shouldn’t have interfered with the independence of the lower court. The judiciary is killing itself.
