Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti says the Judiciary has slowed the graft war by granting low bail, injunctions and being swayed by technicalities. Going easy on suspects emboldens them and makes prosecution difficult, Kinoti said in an exclusive interview with the Star. The courts say, however, that they look at the facts, flight risks, and they do their job after the DCI and DPP do theirs. But DCI George Kinoti calls such freedom a “poisoned chalice”, making it difficult for investigative agencies to nail suspects. Besides low bail and bond terms, the DCI complained that courts issue unwarranted injunctions, delaying hearings and making room for witness tampering.
