The Federation of Women Lawyers in Kenya (FIDA-Kenya) has given police a three-day ultimatum to rearrest Kware murder suspect Collins Jumaisi Khalusha.

The premier women’s rights organisation in a statement on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, said it was deeply concerned with the escape of the prime murder suspect from police custody.

FIDA-Kenya in the statement issued via their official X account demanded that the police rearrest Jumaisi within the next three days, and proceed to charge him in a court of law.

“FIDA-Kenya is deeply concerned by the escape of Kware murder suspect Collins Jumaisi from Gigiri Police custody. We demand that the police immediately rearrest the suspect within the next three days and proceed to charge him in a court of law,” the organization stated.

FIDA-Kenya further threatened to mobilize nationwide picketing to express their collective outrage and demand accountability, should the police fail to rearrest Jumaisi.

The organization has urged relevant government agencies to move with speed and conclusively investigate the incident.

“Failure to do so will lead us to mobilize nationwide picketing to express our collective outrage and demand accountability. The safety and security of our communities , women and children in particular, can’t be compromised, and we urge all relevant agencies to act swiftly and decisively.
