This comes days after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) summoned the former Interior Cabinet Secretary over an alleged raid at his Karen home three weeks ago.
Matiang’i however failed to honour the summon by the DCI.
Speaking to Nairobi Leo, Matiang'i's lawyer Danstan Omari denied receiving any summon requiring his client to avail himself at the DCI headquarters.
"The law is very clear about how the summon needs to be served. My client has not received any summon from the DCI until this moment. There was no need to respond to something that is not existing," Omari stated.
