Journalist Peter Makori is now demanding Ksh12million award from Attorney General Paul Kariuki, compensation for torture, unlawful detention and malicious prosecution two decades ago.
On Thursday instructed his lawyers to institute contempt of court charges against the Attorney-General and other state officials according to a 2018 High Court order issued compelling the AG to pay Makori.
Makori was arrested about 16 years ago while reporting on the killing of two chiefs in Bonchari, Kisii County.
He was later charged with the killing of an assistant chief, whose body was found in Bokeire sub-location.
Makor says that the Flying Squad officers tortured him while in custody while trying to extract a false confession.
His lawyer Ken Bosire made a follow up in November 2018 but was told that his file had gone missing.
