Wamuchomba: Blogger Ndiangu’i owes Kenyans an apology

Ndiangui went missing on June 21.

However, family lawyer Kibe Mungai told the court Ndiangui called the family on Tuesday evening, saying he was well and safe.

Justice Chacha Mwita had on Tuesday ordered DCI boss Mohamed Amin to appear in court to explain the whereabouts of Ndiangui.

Wamuchomba said what Ndiangu’i had done was wrong because Kenyans were fighting for his release.

“You cannot Dupe Kenyans with security matters. We fought for your release genuinely and made us look victorious. You owe Kenyans an apology. I retract my X post done previously and any accusation alleged,” she said.

Wamuchomba said it will be hard to defend incidents of people disappearing in the future.

A section of leaders has weighed in on the Ndiangu’i incident, saying it was uncalled for.

National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah said the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has been exonerated after Ndiangu’i surfaced.

Ichung’wah said many Kenyans doubted DCI Director Mohammed Amin when he stated that they were not holding Ndiangui.

“Last week, reports circulated all over that a young man had been abducted. The family even went to court, and DCI was directed to produce him. DCI was clear that they had not arrested the man, but many people did not believe,” he stated.

He said the man whom DCI had been ordered to produce presented himself to court.

“DCI were clear that they were also looking for the young man. Now he has resurfaced and said he had not been abducted,” he added.

Lawyer Willis Otieno asked the court to issue orders stopping the police from arresting Ndiangui, saying DCI could arrest him after the court proceedings.

Justice Mwita ordered that Ndiangui be given time with his family pending further directions.

"The police shall not arrest the second petitioner (Ndiangui Kinyangia) since he's now a petitioner in this matter," Mwita said.

He should not be arrested or detained, but can be escorted to the DCI by the family for statement recording if need be."

The matter will be heard on July 18.
