Justice Chacha Mwita has declined to issue interim orders barring Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat from resuming office, amid an ongoing legal challenge filed by activist Eliud Matindi.
The High Court judge instead directed Lagat to file his official response to the suit by July 23, allowing the case to proceed through proper legal channels.
Matindi had moved to court seeking to block Lagat’s return to office, citing concerns that have yet to be detailed publicly.
The activist is challenging the legality or propriety of Lagat’s tenure or conduct, though the specifics remain under judicial consideration.
In declining to grant immediate orders, Justice Mwita indicated that all parties must be heard before any substantive decision can be made on the matter.
