On July 7, 2019, a Kilifi-based police officer, Emmanuel Kiti Chiboe, shared his story of alleged injustice with Citizen Digital.
Chiboe's wife, Sylvia Jelatgat Sesa, died in a fatal road accident along the Kilifi-Malindi highway in 2012. The public service vehicle involved in the accident was insured by a company that Chiboe believed was capable of compensating him.
Chiboe filed a case through his lawyer, seeking the court to order the insurance company to compensate him. However, the advocate allegedly undermined the case, and it has dragged since 2013 without any hope of Chiboe getting justice.
Chiboe alleged that his lawyer never presented the case in any court of law. He claimed that the lawyer had requested for Ksh.200,000 to file the case but declined, and following the disagreement over the money, the lawyer went silent.
Chiboe was expecting around Ksh.6 million as compensation if the case had followed the right track. He suspected that something fishy might have happened between the lawyer and the insurance company, as his lawyer had been frustrating him by not picking his calls or replying to his texts messages.
Chiboe called upon the DPP, DCI, and the EACC to intervene over the matter so that justice could prevail. He was exhausted and could not persevere the pain anymore.
