BREAKING: The costly mistake IG Kanja made during Gen Z anniversary that has landed him in court

The Inspector General of Police IG Kanja is now facing a massive legal battle that could completely change his stay at the helm of the police service.

This comes after a powerful law institute made a bold move to drag him straight to the High Court over controversial actions witnessed in Nairobi.

The decision has triggered hot discussions across the country as citizens wait to see how the police boss will defend himself.

According to reliable details shared by Kenyans.co.ke on June 26, 2026, Katiba Institute has officially sued IG Kanja.

The prominent group is accusing the police boss of openly defying clear High Court orders during the recent Gen Z anniversary protests that took place on June 25.

The move has quickly attracted massive public attention, with many Kenyans demanding full accountability from the top law enforcement officers.

The main issue centers around the heavy roadblocks that were mounted across major entries and streets in Nairobi during the demonstrations.

Katiba Institute firmly argues that blocking the roads was a direct violation of court directives that allowed peaceful citizens to go about their day and express their concerns.

By going against these guidelines, the police chief now finds himself in a tight spot that could attract serious consequences if the court finds him guilty of contempt.

Many Kenyans are closely monitoring this developing story to see the final verdict. Legal experts note that disobeying court orders is a serious matter that carries heavy penalties for state officers who abuse their public mandates.

As the case heads to the judges, the big question remains how the police department will justify the heavy lockdown that brought parts of the capital city to a standstill.
