Roto and the Attorney General under scrutiny for potentially sheltering DIG Lagat from lawful punishment following Ojwang's demise
In the coastal city of Mombasa, a shocking incident has come to light as an agency intercepted a pests-infested ship, uncovering a grim discovery – the remains of Albert Ojwang, a victim of a state-linked murder.
The High Court has taken up the case, seeking the prosecution of Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat over Ojwang's death. The court has set a deadline for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to respond, with the deadline set for August 29, 2025[2][3]. Other suspects, including a former OCS, are also facing legal proceedings[4].
Lagat has argued that he should not be prosecuted, asserting that the decision lies with the DPP, not the court. He claims there is no evidence linking him to the alleged torture and murder[1][2]. Independent bodies like IPOA and the ODPP have cleared him of wrongdoing[1].
However, the case has sparked public outrage, with organizations like Amnesty calling for an independent investigation into the death[5]. The situation remains under legal scrutiny and public attention, but there is no specific mention of President William Ruto or top security officials being involved in shielding Lagat or others from prosecution based on the available sources.
Meanwhile, the topic of declining parental support systems has also been in the spotlight. The increasing anxiety caused by chasing a "stress-free" life is a concern for many. As the world evolves, it's crucial to remember the importance of family and support in navigating life's challenges.
In a separate development, Ruto has been serving politics and tilapia in Homa Bay, showcasing his fish diplomacy skills. Tiwa Savage, on the other hand, has revealed her egg freezing journey, adding another layer to the ongoing conversation about reproductive health and choices.
The Albert Ojwang case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of justice and accountability in our society. As the legal proceedings continue, the hope is that truth and justice will prevail, bringing closure to the family of Albert Ojwang and the Kenyan public.
