Ms Kilonzo arrived at Mazingira House shortly before 11am accompanied by her lawyer James Orengo. Last week, Mr Orengo said his client had not defied any summons as previously reported and that she would honour the appointment with the detectives. “So that there is no confusion on this matter...I now confirm in writing that Diana Kethi Kilonzo will appear before you on Tuesday 06/08/2031 at 10am accompanied by a team of lawyers representing her,” Mr Orengo said in the letter. Her registration was contested last month by an IEBC tribunal chaired by Commissioner Thomas Letangule which ruled that her voter registration documents were fraudulently obtained, and that she was ineligible to contest for the Makueni by-election. Detectives are seeking to establish whether the law was broken in the process leading to Ms Kilonzo acquiring the document. On Monday, Ms Kilonzo moved to court to compel the electoral commission to supply her with documents it used against her. She filed the application at the High Court under Article 35 of the Constitution, which secures the right to access information. IEBC lawyers, however, told the court that the commission was willing to give her documents that were in its custody as others had been handed to police. Correspondence between Ms Kilonzo and the commission indicate that she wants a certified copy of the voter registration acknowledgement slip of retired President Mwai Kibaki. She also wants a certified copy of the booklet of acknowledgement slips produced by the IEBC during the proceedings, a statement on oath detailing all those who handled the booklet and the date and report of its alleged theft. During the proceedings, which were conducted by the IEBC tribunal, the commission claimed that a registration slip that she had presented as evidence of her registration had been stolen from a booklet that was used to register only the retired President. Ms Kilonzo also wants a copy of the register of voters (with biometric details of voters) of the NCC Social Hall polling station. That is where she claimed she had registered as a voter.
