Philip Moi was on Monday arrested at
his Nairobi home and is expected to be arraigned in court.
In July, his estranged wife succeeded
in an application to extend jurisdiction under which her husband can be
arrested.
Justice GBM Kariuki allowed an
application by Ms Rossana Pluda, through her lawyer Judy Thongori, seeking to
extend the jurisdiction under which Mr Moi can be arrested for failing to pay
her maintenance fee as had been ordered by the court, to be extended to cover
the entire country.
Initially, Mr Moi could only be placed
under arrest within Muthaiga area, Nairobi.
Mr Moi had been ordered to pay Ms
Pluda Sh250,000 a month for her upkeep and the maintenance of their two
children. However, Mr Moi failed to comply.
The application filed by Ms Pluda Moi,
on July 4, 2012 required that the orders of the arrest and detention in civil
jail at the industrial area, Nairobi that were issued against Mr Moi for
execution by the officers in charge of the police station nearest Mr Moi’s
place of residence be expanded to include the order that the Commissioner of
Police to execute such arrest whenever the respondent maybe in the Republic of
Kenya.
