Two former managers at the Kenya Pipeline Company have been charged with abuse of office. Charles Kiprotich and Josphat Kipkoech were on Thursday also charged with making documents without authority and failing to comply with procurement laws. The prosecution did not oppose bail but asked the court to direct the accused to deposit their passports and refrain from visiting their offices or being in contact with witnesses. Through their lawyers, ex-KPC employees asked for lenient bond terms and told court and witness statements. Magistrate Ogoti released them on a cash bail of Sh700,000 or a bond of Sh3 million each and cautioned them not to interfere with the witnesses.
