The Milimani High Court in Nairobi has issued an arrest warrant for former Mukuru Kwa Reuben chief, David Ndirangu, after he failed to comply with a court summons regarding the ownership disputes of the Gatoto Community Primary School. Justice Gregory Mutai summoned Ndirangu to appear before him on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, but he was absent from the court.
Ndirangu's lawyers cited his transfer to a new workstation as the reason for his absence. However, Senior Counsel Martha Karua argued that the transfer within Nairobi County was not a valid reason for Ndirangu to skip court. The Law Society of Kenya President, Charles Kanjama, had requested the court to issue the warrant, stating the summons were personal and required attendance.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Eliud Lagat, has complied with the court summons in relation to the same Gatoto Community Primary School ownership dispute and is present in the Milimani High Court, set to provide evidence.
