The High Court in Nairobi has ordered the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to produce the details of the vehicles allegedly used in orchestrating abductions.
In a case filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), NTSA Director General George Njao was on Tuesday ordered to submit the details of the said cars before the next court session.
While making the ruling, Justice Bahati Mwamuye also summoned the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja over allegations of being linked to the recent abductions.
The judge ordered the police boss to appear before the court to explain how the mysterious abductions took place without the police intervention.
IG Kanja was ordered to appear before the court on Wednesday, January 8, by 11 am alongside all Kenyans who were abducted recently including those who are yet to be found.
According to Judge Bahati Mwamuye, IG Douglas Kanja's failure to adhere to the orders would automatically attract penal sanctions including contempt of court.
"State officers have an obligation, according to the oath of office and the constitution. This court will not hesitate next week if these people are not brought before the court," the judge said.
"If the six gentlemen are found, I am on duty every day, nothing prevents the respondents from producing them to this high court or any other high court in the country," Judge Mwamuye added.
Meanwhile, despite being mentioned as one of the respondents in the petition, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has distanced himself from involvement in the alleged abductions.
The former Transport CS went ahead to apply to the court to have his name scrapped from the petition implicating him and other senior government officials.
Judge Mwamuye's ruling comes days after five out of the six abductees were found alive abandoned by unknown people in different locations, among them included Billy Mwangi, Peter Muteti, Benard Kavuli, Ronny Kiplagat and Kibet Bull.
Moments later, Police Spokesperson Resila Onyango urged Kenyans with information about the whereabouts of those still missing to submit them to the nearest police station.
