Former Chief Justice David Maraga has demanded the arrest of the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, his deputy, Eliud Lagat, and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss, Mohammed Amin, over the death of influencer Albert Ojwang.
The former CJ demanded that the arrests be made before June 25, failure to which he would join Kenyans in engaging in private prosecution against the three.
He went on to note that they all lied under oath about the kidnapping and the eventual murder of the blogger and urged that this step be taken promptly.

According to Maraga, they gave false sworn statements regarding the brutal killing of Ojwang, arguing that their accounts directly contradict several statements issued by the police service.
He moreover highlighted that Kenyans could no longer trust the three institutions of NPS, IPOA and DCI.
He further demanded that the justice system be reset and rebuilt, starting with the ouster of the three.
“To begin this resetting and rebuilding process, we demand the arrest of the DCI because he lied on oath, and the IG, as well as Mr Lagat himself and be prosecuted along with those associated with the murder of Ojwang,” he stated.
