Lawyer confirms receipt of Matiang'i summon amid protest

Ex-CS Fred Matiang’i's lawyer Danstan Omari has confirmed that he was indeed served with the summons even though in protest.

Omari says that the said officers went to the CS home to serve him but did not find him.

After reaching out to Matiang’i, he directed them to go serve his lawyer Omari.

The officers went to the Milimani Law Courts to serve Omari who says the reason he has protested the summons is because of the timing.

“I was being served at 1.15 PM and they require the CS to appear at 9 AM considering I have court matters and I have to take instructions from my client on his itinerary its short notice,” Omari says.

Omari has however said the CS is willing and ready to appear before the DCI but that will be subject to the diary of his lawyers.

Omari says the legal team will issue a comprehensive statement on whether they will appear tomorrow or ask for more time from the officers after taking instructions from his client.
