Friday, September 20, 2024 –Justice Lawrence Mugambi has recused self from Acting IG Gilbert Masengeli case citing personal reasons.
Addressing today in a Nairobi court, judge Mugambi set aside the six months conviction initially imposed on the police officer and, at the same time, asked to leave the case to another judge.
“Masengeli through this purging process has purged his guilt for the contempt of court & thus both the conviction and sentence passed are set aside. I am making my decision to recuse myself from further proceedings of this case for personal reasons,” he read the ruling.
It was the first time Masengeli showed up in court after missing for seven sessions, consecutively.
