How The Government of Kenya is Spying on Your Phone: An Urgent Exposé of State Surveillance

King of Impunity: High Court sentences Acting Police IG Gilbert Masengeli to Six Months in Jail for Contempt of Court

“Mr Masengeli is ordered to surrender himself to the Commissioner General of Prisons to serve his sentence. In the event he fails to surrender himself to prison, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior must take steps to ensure he is committed to prison to serve his sentence,” ruled Justice Mugambi.
The police boss was required to appear in court to explain circumstances surrounding disappearance of three people in Kitengela. They went missing on August 19.
