Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has told the High Court he only became aware of orders directing the restoration of Gatoto Community Primary School to its management on Thursday, pledging the National Police Service would comply.
Kanja spoke while appearing before Justice Gregory Mutai on Friday after being summoned to explain the alleged failure by the National Police Service to comply with a series of court orders requiring police to facilitate the restoration of the Mukuru Kwa Reuben-based school to its lawful management.
On Monday this week, Judge Mutai ordered Kanja, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Eliud Lagat and Principal Secretary for Basic Education Julius Bitok Ololtuaa to appear before him today, Friday, July 24, 2026, and explain to the court the alleged failure of court orders.
