The hearing of a case in which six police officers are charged with the murder of two Kianjokoma brothers resumes today with the court expected to issue fresh directions.
Police officers Benson Mputhia, Consolata Kariuki, Nicholas Cheruyoit, Martin Wanyama, Lilian Chemuna and James Mwaniki have been charged with the murders of Benson Ndwiga and his brother Emmanuel Ndwiga.
Among those who have testified are their parents John Ndwiga and Catherine Gichuki as well as their uncle Felix Njagi.
Njagi claimed that while he was at Manyatta police station, he had a conversation with PC Mwaniki who told him that the family would be compensated for the deaths.
Njagi who identified Mwaniki in court said he left his brother and family inside the police station and went outside to sit in his car.
He alleges that while in his car, Mwaniki was sitting inside the same Landcruiser that had been used to arrest the deceased and they had a chit-chat.
It was his testimony that Mwaniki told him that on the issue of the boys, the family would be compensated by the insurance.
Njagi said he was very hurt by that statement because you can never repay for a lost life.
Elsewhere, the hearing of a case in which EACC wants to recover Sh170 million from former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu claiming it was proceeds of crime continues today.
On Monday, a Chinese construction company said their letterhead was forged by a firm that was awarded a Sh580 million roads tender by Kiambu County.
Josephat Maroro from China Wu Yi Legal Department told the Anti-Corruption High Court that they did not engage Testimony Enterprises Limited for any works but their letterhead was used.
The witness was testifying in a case in which the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission is seeking to recover more than Sh170 million from Waititu, alongside Testimony Limited.
The agency wants them ordered to pay back the money, saying they were proceeds of crime.
It’s their case that Testimony used a forged introductory letter from China Wu Yi to get a contract in Kiambu County to construct several roads and that Waititu used his office to influence the tendering committee to favour the firm.
