The Nakuru Chief Magistrate’s Court has allowed an application by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to withdraw charges against six Nakuru County officials in a procurement-related corruption case involving payments totalling Ksh120,478,417 to three companies.
During proceedings Monday, October 19, before Chief Magistrate Tito Gesora, EACC informed the court that it had not been formally notified of the intended withdrawal.
The Commission emphasised the significant public interest in the matter and requested that the prosecution file a formal written application and serve it on EACC to enable the Commission to obtain instructions and respond appropriately.
