Friday, September 20, 2024 – High Court Judge Lawrence Mugambi should thank his lucky stars because former Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli wanted to assassinate him.
This was revealed
by Thirdway Alliance Party Leader Ekuru Aukot who claimed that Justice
Mugambi's life was under threat after convicting Masengeli.
According to Aukot, events that
followed the 6-month jail slap on Masengeli were very circumstantial, and all
fingers point at a possible execution.
Justice Mugambi's security
detail was withdrawn and disarmed a day after he made the ruling, forcing
clamour from judicial officers led by Chief Justice Martha Koome.
"I'm not afraid to say here
I think they wanted to kill Justice Mugambi. There is circumstantial evidence
to that effect," he said during an interview.
"There are reports that
they were actually calling the drivers and the security of the judge to find
out his whereabouts, for what purpose if it was not to eliminate him? It's not
rocket science how many people have been killed and abducted in this
country?"
Aukot went on to add that
Masengeli is a threat to national security after showing clear contempt for the
rule of law.
In his view, the government
should install stringent laws to apprehend leaders and government officers who
breach the law.
"Masengeli is a criminal in
uniform he does not deserve that police uniform anymore. He should be in Kamiti
or industrial area," he said.
"I think we need a special
jail, probably with transparent glass so that some of these individuals in
government can be jailed and we can go visit them like in a zoo."
