Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Immediate former Interior CS Fred Matiang’i has been summoned to appear before the DCI on Friday.<\/p>\n

In a letter, detective Michael Sang directed Matiang’i to appear before him at Mazingira House at 9.30 am without fail.<\/p>\n

The summon is in relation to the alleged police raid at his Karen home on the night of February 8.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

Matiang’i’s lawyer Danstan Omari, however, said the former CS had not been served with the summon.<\/p>\n

“My client has not been served according to the law and we don’t recognise what we are seeing in social media until we are served properly,” Omari said.<\/p>\n

The summon come even as the high court on Thursday extended orders stopping police from arresting the former Interior CS.<\/p>\n

Justice Justus Bwonwong\u2019a extended the conservatory orders which were to lapse on Thursday to runup to April 19 when the matter will come up for mention.<\/p>\n

The extension of the orders followed an earlier anticipatory bail which had been issued by Justice Kanyi Kimondo on February 9.<\/p>\n

The judge also granted the ex-CS a Sh200,000 personal bond after he expressed fear that the police could arrest him.<\/p>\n

Matiang’i’s fears would later be lent credence on February 15 when police broke into his house to look for CCTV footage on the alleged home raid.<\/p>\n

DCI Mohamed Amin denied ever having deployed officers to Matiang’i’s home and said they obtained a search warrant to get the CCTV recordings as proof.<\/p>\n

This statement was, however, contradicted by lawyer Omari who said that police had not obtained any such orders.<\/p>\n

“Out of frustration, they drive here in a military form without a court order, get inside the house of the former CS and ransacked his house,” he said.<\/p>\n

The lawyer said the police officers only stopped ransacking the house after they asked for the court order.<\/p>\n

Matiang’i’s last public appearance was before the home raid saga on January 31 when he accompanied former President Uhuru Kenyatta to the late Education CS George Magoha’s home in Lavington.<\/p>\n

On February 9, his lawyer Omari attributed the alleged raid at his home to what the former CS said while paying tribute to Magoha.<\/p>\n

“Professor Magoha dies, our client gives a speech, less than 12 hours his security detail is downgraded, less than 24 hours, a serious attack in his house,” Omari said in a press address outside Milimani courts.<\/p>\n

He said the sequence of events pointed to “a choreographed attack on former CSs including the former head of state.”<\/p>\n

Omari was on Tuesday also summoned by DCI in relation to his remarks that a “garrison” and or a “battalion” of police officers raided Matiang’i’s home on February 8.<\/p>\n

The summon was, however, suspended on Wednesday by the court.<\/p>\n
