Kileleshwa ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) Robert Alai has called on the Judiciary to issue a public apology to the police for demanding that the authorities appear before the court over blogger Ndiangui Kinyagia, who has since resurfaced.
In a statement on Thursday, July 3, 2025, Alai indicated that the judiciary had been weaponised against the police and state officials, and that the judiciary should issue an apology.
“Justice Chacha Mwita and the CJ Martha Koome must urgently offer an apology to the police and explain why they have weaponised the courts and made it hostile to the government in place. The tyranny being meted out to police officers, prosecutors, state counsels and other officials of the government in court must be explained well,” Alai said.
12 days missing
The remarks come after Kinyagia presented himself in court after 12 days of going missing on Saturday, June 21, 2025.
According to eyewitness accounts shared by LSK, Kinyagia’s home was raided in broad daylight by a group of six to ten men driving Subaru vehicles.
The intruders forcibly broke into the residence and seized several items, including laptops, passports, and other electronic devices.
He went into hiding, according to his family lawyer, Wahome Thuku, who revealed that the reason for the disappearance was that he feared for his life in the hands of DCI officials.
Blogger emerges
“On behalf of the family of Ndiangui Kinyagia, I wish to inform the Kenyan public as follows:
“That Ndiangui, who went missing last week, has contacted the family and that he is well, healthy and safe. Ndiangui contacted a family member on Tuesday evening from an undisclosed location. Ndiangui indicated to the family member that he had hidden temporarily for fear of his life upon learning that DCI officers were looking for him over unknown criminal allegations,” Thuku said.
Kinyagia has since presented himself in court, where the Director of the DCI, Amin Mohammed, was expected to appear to answer questions about his whereabouts. This comes just days after Amin admitted that Kinyagia was a person of interest, but was not in the custody of the police service.
