Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was not impressed after Matiang’i failed to honour the summon, alleging that the former CS fled the country.
"He was called to record a simple statement but he decided to flee. Didn't I tell you that these people were cowards?
"They came after us before the elections, but did we run? They arrested me and took away our property and we stayed put," Gachagua explained.
He accused Matiang’i of suffering from hallucinations, adding that the Kenya Kwanza administration will not use the police to crack down on its perceived critics.
"Matiang'i suffers from hallucinations. He imagined the police arresting him. He thought we would send the police to him as they did to us.
"He (Matiang'i) could have asked me to teach him how to write a statement at DCI," Gachagua added.
Matiang’i’s lawyer, Danstan Omari explained that there was nothing sinister in his UK trip, adding that the latter will honor the summons provided the right procedures are followed as stipulated in law.
