Tuesday, June 18, 2024 - Fresh details have emerged regarding the circumstances that led to the killing of Makadara Principal Magistrate Monica Kivuti by a rogue police officer.

OCS Samson Kipchirchir shot the Magistrate after he disagreed with
the magistrate's decision to cancel his wife's bond and deny her cash bail.
Kipchirir's wife, Jennifer Wairimu, has been charged with
fraud but unfortunately, she was undergoing palliative care for cancer and was
in a wheelchair.
Just as bribery reportedly occurs daily in Makadara courts,
Kipchirchir had allegedly bribed the magistrate for a favorable ruling, but
Kivuti did not honor the deal.
This has forced former Law Society of Kenya(LSK) President Nelson Havi to ask the Judiciary to launch an inquiry to determine the reasons behind OCS Kipchirchir's decision to shoot Magistrate Kivuti.
“An inquiry must be undertaken
by the JSC, DPP, & the Police to establish circumstances under which the
Hon Magistrate canceled the bond of an accused that was undergoing palliative
care for cancer and was brought to Court on life support equipment,” Havi stated.
