NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 19 \u2013 The wait for answers in the disappearance of security expert Mwenda Mbijiwe dragged on once more on Friday after the High Court adjourned a habeas corpus application seeking to compel authorities to produce him in court.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For his mother, Jane Gatwiri, the postponement was a crushing blow. <\/p>\n

Standing outside the Milimani Law Court in Nairobi flanked by her lawyers, her voice trembled as she spoke of the son she has not seen since June 2021, when he vanished while travelling to Meru to see her. <\/p>\n

Mbijiwe\u2019s abandoned car was later found near Tatu City in Kiambu, but his whereabouts remain unknown.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy son is very much alive and with the government,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe was taken by the former DCI, George Kinoti, arrested, taken to National Intelligence, investigated, and he was found, he was not guilty of all the allegations that were formed against him,\u201d the agonizing mother asserted.<\/p>\n

Gatwiri insisted that her son\u2019s disappearance was no accident. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want politicians to involve themselves into this, because we know Mwenda did not just went missing, there were three people, prominent people from Meru who were behind his abduction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Hope for justice\u2019<\/h2>\n

She hoped the Judiciary will rise above political pressure and pressure the government to produce her son. <\/p>\n

\u201cJustice is there to prevail for Mwenda, because we need our courts to be independent. Because when judges are given freedom of justice, they can do justice and marvellous justice in this nation of Kenya.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not expecting this case to be postponed today, but due to Mwenda\u2019s circumstances, to the judge, the case will be handed tomorrow at 9 am,\u201d she told reporters.<\/p>\n

Gatwiri said she remained hopeful that she will reunite with her long missing son.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo now I\u2019m going to ask God to help our lawyers, Mr. Dick and their partners, who are very much involved in this case, because you know, this case has a lot of government officials, especially lawyers, who are very afraid of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gatwiri described Mbijiwe as a cheerful son whose company she has missed over the past four years. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe was my first born, he was everything to my family. So today I feel very sad. I told Honda, that will be respected by the government of Kenya for my son to be released.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
