This comes a day after Matiang’i silently jetted back to the country after visiting the United Kingdom for two weeks.

According to lawyer Danstan Omari, Matiang'i flew to the United Kingdom to attend to family matters.

“There is nothing sinister about his travel. He is there to attend to an urgent private family matter and shall return to resume his ordinary routine as a private citizen,” the lawyer explained.

He added, “Those familiar with his travel schedules over time will confirm that he travels regularly to that part of the world via KLM.”
