Lawyers want Central Organisation of Trade Unions Secretary General Francis Atwoli, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi and five MPs summoned over remarks linking former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to the recent wave of abductions in the country.

In a case filed at the Milimani High Court by Mt Kenya Jurist Association, they seek to compel Atwoli, MPs Kimani Ichung'wah, Junet Mohammed, Oscar Sudi, Mwengi Mutuse, Didmas Baraza and Erick Wamumbi, to appear in court.
