The Senate Devolution Committee chaired by Homabay Senator Moses Kajwang has reviewed and revoked the Sh500,000 fine imposed on Inspector General Hillary Mutyambai for failure to honor summons.
This came after Mutyambai pleaded with the committee saying his absence was not intentional.
“I received the invite by the Senate quite late. Realized that when I followed the protocol for rescheduling somebody in my office didn’t deliver the message on time. As a disciplined force, I took the administrative action to correct the anomaly in future,” Mutyambai stated.
The Senate Devolution Committee summoned the Inspector General to explain why police officers were involved in the illegal evictions of Pumwani and Eastleigh communities.
“With the view of getting substantive answers to the substantive issues in Pumwani and Eastleigh. Honourable members we do resolve we revoke the fine and give the Inspector General the chance to address the issues,” stated Kajwang.
Mutyambai apologized last week in a letter to Senate Clerk Jeremiah Nyegenye, emphasizing that his failure to appear before the Committee was not in bad faith.
“Based on the foregoing, I hereby submit my humble appeal to the Committee to set aside the penalty that was imposed on me. Kindly accept my sincere apologies as it was never my intention to disobey your summons,” the letter read.
However, Mutyambai claimed that compiling necessary information for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination’s thorough report on evictions took longer than expected.
