"content": "Senator for Kilifi County, we are waiting for you to take your seat. Sen. Beth Syengo, you do not seem to locate your seat. As you are aware, under Article 119 (1) of the Constitution and I quote- “Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including enacting, amending or repealing any legislation.” Hon. Senators, the salient issues raised in the said Petition are as follows- THAT, on 3rd February, 2020, Mr. Joshua Gichuki Mwangi, (Christine Njoki Mweru’s husband), left their home in the company of Mr. Dennis Ndubi Mauda, aboard their vehicle of number plate KCS 481F; THAT, on 4th February, 2020, barely 24 hours after their departure, the vehicle of number plate KCS 481F was found abandoned in Ruaka; THAT Ms. Christine Njoki Mweru thereafter made an official report about the disappearance of her husband on 4th February, 2020, and on 13th February, 2020, she received a call from the investigating officer that the suspect, Mr. Dennis Ndubi Mauda, had been summoned to record a statement at Kabete Police Station; THAT, Ms. Christine Njoki Mweru on several occasions has written to the Director of Criminal Investigations to follow up on her husband’s case, but has received unsatisfactory responses; THAT the case was afterward transferred from the original police station with jurisdiction to the Nairobi Area, Directorate of Criminal Investigations offices to be assisted by the now defunct Special Crimes Unit where the Petitioner, Ms. Christine Njoki Mweru, met uncooperative officers; and, THAT on 5th June, 2023, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions directed that the Office of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations have the Petitioner and her daughters record further statements regarding the disappearance of Mr. Joshua Gichuki Mwangi; THAT, the issues presented in this Petition have been raised with the relevant bodies, including the Commission on Administrative Justice, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, the Inspector General of Police, the Internal Affairs Unit, the Ministry of Interior and Security and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, all of which have borne no fruits. CONSEQUENTLY, the Petitioner prays that the Senate does the following: (1) Investigates this matter with a view of ensuring that the relevant bodies in charge of investigation and prosecution give their account on why justice has never been served; and, (2) Ensures that justice is served on the matter to enable the family to find closure on the disappearance of Mr. Joshua Gichuki Mwangi in the hands of known suspects. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services, Senate."
