The case was ongoing before the Kitui Anti-Corruption Court. All the accused persons have subsequently been discharged in a ruling delivered on October 2, 2024, allowing the DPP to abandon the prosecution. The DPP’s Application to end the case was vehemently opposed by EACC in an affidavit filed in court, terming it a complete disregard of public interest, abuse of the court process and made in bath faith. Chief Magistrate David Mburu in his ruling however agreed with DPP submission saying the reason for the withdrawal of the case is justified. “After due consideration of all the arguments advanced in this matter, the court is satisfied that the DPP has presented proper justification for the decision to withdraw the case.
