The Director of Public Prosecution has withdrawn charges against Treasury former PS Kamau Thugge who will now be a key prosecution witness in the Kimwarer and Arror Dams Scandal case. Thugge will now testify against his former boss Ex-CS Henry Rotich in the multi-billion corruption case that he is facing in court. Assistant DPP Alexander Muteti on Tuesday told Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti that they were withdrawing charges against Thugge. Thugge was charged alongside Rotich but he will now be a witness alongside former Wildlife PS Susan Koech whose charges have also been dropped. Rotich last month maintained he was unlawfully charged in connection with fraud at the multibillion-shilling Arror and Kimwarer dams.
