TRIBUNALLawyers who spoke to the Sunday Nation argued that the law never envisaged a situation where there is a vacuum in the office of the DPP. KAJWANG' ARRESTAccording to lawyer Nelson Havi, all the cases brought in the absence of DPP “will be thrown out”. CHARGE SHEETThe lawyer said the office of the DPP was carved out of the Attorney-General’s office to ensure independence. He said failure to appoint the DPP soon might see most cases collapse just like it happened with corruption cases brought by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) in the absence of the commissioners. "Yes it is an independent office with a group of individuals and the DPP can delegate the job to any person in his office,” he said.
