Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has revealed that he will honour the next court summons in the cases filed by human rights groups over the recent abductions.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, January 21, Kanja detailed that he would be in court personally to attend to the orders issued by the judge.
Kanja has already missed two court appearances, a move that saw High Court Judge Bahati Mwamuye issue a warning that he would sentence the IG on the spot if he missed the next sitting.
"There is no problem and when the time will come for me to appear in court, I will be there personally," the IG remarked.

On the other hand, he announced that investigations into the recent abductions were at an advanced stage.
Kanja noted that he had given firm directives to the detectives on the investigations, noting that those responsible would be held to account.
As at the time of publication, no one had been arrested over the abductions.
"I want to say that investigations are at advanced levels in all reported cases of missing persons. I have given instructions that those investigations need to be done thoroughly and concluded," he stated.
"Those responsible have to be arrested and taken to court. They will be dealt with according to the law. When they will be arrested, we shall inform the public."
