BREAKING: DPP Drops Charges Against Dr. Fred Matiang’i

Huge relief on former interior Cabinet secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) decided to drop all the charges labeled on him and his lawyer Danstan Omari.

This comes after Lilian Obuo; the Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions issued official statement on Monday, March 13, that revealed that the evidence provided by DCI was not sufficient enough to prove all fore-mentioned offences as required by the law.

The Director of Public Prosecutions found that the evidence provided was not sufficient to sustain the above charges against Dr Fred Okeng’o Matiang’i and his advocate Danstan Omari,” the statement read in part.

The Director of Public Prosecutions has therefore directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to close the inquiry file with no further police action,” the statement added.
