However, Mr Ogoti declined to issue of a warrant of arrest against Mr Sonko for failing to attend court on Wednesday. He protested allegations about the defence team integrity following a claim by Taib that they picked the medical report from their files. Mr Nyakundi submitted that Mr Ogoti’s orders that Mr Sonko be detained at Gigiri Police Station were flouted by police who dashed to Kahawa law courts. In his ruling, Mr Ogoti directed that Mr Sonko be escorted to KNH February 19 for examination by three doctors who will file their findings on or before March 1. Mr Sonko was detained after being charged before a Kiambu court over invasion into private property and assaulting six people.
