A brief altercation between businessman Jimi Wanjigi and the police was witnessed on Monday when he presented himself for grilling over the Nane Nane protests.
When he arrived at the station, Wanjigi got out of the car to address the media but the police refused saying he should get in the station.
One of the officers approached Wanjigi and asked him to get in the car.
Wanjigi answered saying he should be respected and not ordered around. He added that he would go to the station at his own will.
“Ingia kwa gari, we respect you mheshimiwa, ingia ka gari,” the police officer said.
Wanjigi replied: “Do not order me or touch me, do you understand? Have respect. I will go in at my own will. No, and what if I don’t enter? There is nothing like that, have respect.”
The police officer insisted that Wanjigi should get into the car as people who had accompanied him defended him saying he should not be forced to enter the car.
“Don’t order me, keep quiet, keep quiet,” Wanjigi said while entering his car.
“We are not ordering you,” the officer added.
Police told journalists who had at the time milled around Wanjigi. He then got into the car and he was driven inside the station.
Wanjigi will be questioned over claims of possessing teargas canisters at his Muthaiga home, in Nairobi.
He was asked to appear before the police on August 19 at Nairobi Area DCI offices for grilling. This is after they had on August 8, tried to arrest him at his house in vain.
Wanjigi, accompanied by his legal team, arrived at the Nairobi Area at about 2 pm before being ushered in for the grilling session.
Wanjigi had moved to court where he obtained an order stopping his arrest.
The court on August 16 extended the orders stopping the police from arresting him.
Justice Bahati Mwamuye extended the order to September 19 but at the same time said he could not issue an order stopping any registration of a charge sheet against Wanjigi.
The Judge said the application filed by Wanjigi only touched on issues of arrest and not prosecution.
