Justice Lawrence Mugambi ordered Masengeli to present himself to the Commissioner of Prisons.
He however suspended the sentence suspended for seven days to give him a chance to appear personally to explain the whereabouts of three political activists arrested by the police four weeks ago.
Mugambi earlier rejected Masengeli’s plea to suspend his sentencing citing a late request.
Lawyer Cecil Miller told the court that an urgent application was filed Thursday giving details as to why the acting IG has not appeared as ordered.
