The Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss George Kinoti has been sentenced to four months in jail for contempt of court.
High Court Judge Anthony Murima on Thursday directed the Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai to enforce the order and ensure that Kinoti is arrested and taken to Kamiti Maximum Prison to serve his sentence
Kinoti was sentenced for failing to comply with the court order that directed him to surrender firearms he seized from businessman Jimmy Wanjigi in 2017.
" In the event, Kinoti fails to avail himself as ordered, a warrant of arrest will be issued against him. The warrant of arrest will be forthwith executed by the IG. In the further event that the IG fails to execute the warrant of arrest the sane shall remain valid and be executed at any time including when Kinoti leaves office,” the judge ordered.
The firearms were seized from the businessman's home in Muthaiga during a raid.
