By Joseph Wangui More by this AuthorThe High Court has dismissed an application by reclusive city tycoon Madatali Chatur seeking to stop police from investigating him over allegations of human trafficking. "The impression I get is that the petitioner wants this court to protect his purported “clean record”. In his application, Mr Chatur -- who owns Diamond Plaza and Muthaiga shopping mall -- wanted the court to issue a permanent injunction restraining police from from harassing him as he claimed the State was attempting to deport him. Mr Chatur told court that the police had formulated an evil scheme of lies, falsehoods and distortions with a view to fix him on trumped up charges. Further, that he has indeed incurred massive financial losses because most rooms were vacant and the clients, partners and other visitors who frequented Diamond Plaza no longer went there.
