By SAM KIPLAGATMore by this AuthorDirector of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji wants a review of an order stopping criminal charges against Senior Counsel Tom Ojienda over payments he allegedly received from Mumias Sugar Company. Further, Mr Haji claims that Prof Ojienda misrepresented to the court that the intended criminal charges were in relation to the matter pending before the Court of Appeal, which Mr Haji says is false. Justice Korir directed the DPP to serve the papers to Prof Ojienda ahead of the Monday hearing. ABUSE OF POWERAccording to Mr Haji, public confidence in the administration of justice is paramount and courts should ensure that the processes are not taken advantage of by parties. Prof Ojienda moved to the High Court challenging his intended prosecution, arguing that it was an abuse of power by the DPP.
