The High court in Nairobi Friday dismissed an application by alleged killer cop Ahmed Rashid seeking to stop his plea taking.
Justice Kanyi Kimondo said he cannot encroach on the independence of the Office of Directorate of Public Prosecutions.
DPP.
He further said he does not know why the DPP approved charges against Rashid.
The question is why the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) never summoned Rashid to take his statement of inquiry.
Rashid had challenged the decision to charge him saying the two boys who were killed during a robbery incident were suspected criminals.
Plea-taking was set on March 22 before Justice Diana Mochache.
The plea-taking of sergeant Rashid had been adjourned to February 9 and then to March 3.
This is after the prosecution said there was no mental assessment report before the court.
In a virtual session, Rashid appeared before the court and said he was in Garissa attending to a family issue.
Kimondo then ordered Rashid to present himself to the County Criminal Investigation Officer (CCIO) Garissa, who was to escort him back to Nairobi for mental assessment at Mathari Mental Hospital.
Kimondo further said thereafter he can be granted a bond by the officer commanding station.
