Inspector-General of Police Hillary Mutyambai has been ordered by the High Court to arrest Treasury Principal Secretary, Dr Julius Muia, for failing to appear in court on Tuesday to give evidence in a commercial case.

Justice David Majanja issued the warrant of arrest against Dr Muia after he failed to honour his summons to appear in court to give evidence in a suit relating to the reopening of accounts of the Child Welfare Society of Kenya (CWSK) at Equity Bank Kilimani Supreme Branch.

"Warrant of arrest issued against against PS Treasury for failure to attend court. The warrant of arrest to be executed by the Inspector-General Kenya police service to be avail in court on December 18, 2019," ordered Justice Majanja.

On December 9, 2019, the judge summoned the PS to appear in court.

Meanwhile, the court declined to reopen the CWSK Kenya Commercial Bank accounts that were frozen on December 10, 2019.

The accounts were frozen following an application by activist Okiya Omtatah who wanted the CWSK's accounts' signatories changed.
