From my observation of the political undertaking in Kenya in the past Constitution under one party rule and after promulgation of the 2010 Constitution, I can categorically tell that the illegal detainment of Miguna Miguna is influenced by powerful individuals in the Executive.
That needs no magic. The police are merely being given orders by the kings of the day and they shudder while obeying them. Police hold a very humble position in society to the extent that they can hardly defy a court order. We have seen them obey many court orders in the past. There was nothing stopping them from obeying the one issued by Justice James Wakiaga over Miguna’s release.
