The plaintiff, Cissy Kalunde Musembi has filed a motion in court as an interested party in the matter in which Wanjigi secured orders prohibiting the Inspector General of Police and the Director of Public Prosecutions from arresting him and his wife Irene Nzisa.
Cissy claims that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has determined that Wanjigi is a significant member of a syndicate that faked ownership paperwork for the property in question.
With regard to the court documents, it was critical to evaluate the interested party's rejoinder application before issuing directions in the matter.
“There is urgent need for the court to consider the joinder application of the Interested Party/ Applicant before the directions are issued in the matter to allow the court to see through the fraud and theft that was hatched and designed,” the court documents read in part With the aim of fraudulently snatching away from the Interested Party/ Applicant the property known as Land Reference Number 1870/11/200 comprised in grant registered as number IR. No.65800/1," the court documents stated.
Cissy further stated that the barring order was imposed despite misrepresentation and withholding of important facts from the court, thus protecting those who wished to defraud her of her property.
Wanjigi was detained in his office on January 18 and charged in court on January 19, after which he was released under conservatory orders given by the High Court through Magistrate Bernard Ochoi.
"In light of the submissions by the parties herein, it is noted that the high court issued conservative orders. Therefore, this matter cannot proceed unless the petition is heard," remarked Ochoi.
