Former IG was never employed by National Police Service commission – Police commission tells Judiciary
The National Police Service Commission has now denied claims that it employed former Inspector General Joseph Boinnet.
The commission outlined that the former IG was a state officer therefore his salary was processed by the Public Service Commission (PSC).
NPSC issued the reply after Judiciary sought to enforce a Sh200,000 fine imposed on the former IG for disobeying court orders.
Matiang’i fined over Miguna troubles
Boinnet along with Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and former Director of Immigration Gordon Kihalangwa were each fined Sh200,000 after they failed to follow court orders regarding lawyer Miguna Miguna.
High Court Judge Chacha Mwita imposed the fines after finding the three responsible for not facilitating Miguna’s appearance in court after he was deported.
Judiciary had sought to surcharge the three through NPSC and the National Treasury in order to recover the fines.
With little cooperation from both government bodies, it remains unclear on how the fines will be enforced as they have remained unpaid since April 2018.
