In June this year, the businessman filed a contempt suit against Kinoti for disrespecting court orders to the police to release the guns to him. Wanjigi told the court that the Director of Criminal Investigations had been given a six months’ suspended jail term for violating court orders by Justice Chacha Mwita that the guns be returned. But the DCI in court papers obtained by the Star says Wanjigi cannot lay claim to the guns as his firearms certificate was revoked. The police are further questioning how Wanjigi renewed his firearms certificate after he was disarmed, then serving as a police reservist. “However, he later under unexplained circumstances, gained his firearm back and has been holding the same alongside other prohibited firearms,” Otieno said.
