Police Boss: Why Sakaja Will Not be Charged for Flaunting Government Rules to Curb Covid-19 Spread

New details have emerged on why Nairobi Country Senator Johnson Sakaja may not be taken to court for flouting the government’s set directives to curb the spread of coronavirus novel.

Nairobi police boss Philip Ndolo stated that consultations are ongoing to find an immediate action to be taken against the lawmaker.

Ndolo also stated that it is not necessary to take everybody arrested to court since there are some issues to be considered before a person is taken to court

“Sometimes people feel they are above the law and he should be the last person to contravene that directive. We will consult with others including, of course, he has his seniors in the Senate and the government.

“We don’t have to take everyone to court for any offence. Sometimes there are other considerations to be made so as not to give people unnecessary mileage. That is why for example we did not take any of the activists arrested during the saba saba day demonstrations to court, ” Ndolo stated.

The lawmaker was reportedy arrested on Saturday 18 June at Lady’s Lounge along Denis Prit Road in Kilimani area at 2a.m while drinking with friends.
