Audio By Vocalize
The Milimani anti-corruption court has allowed the DPP to withdraw a Ksh. 167 million shillings NYS case against former Youth and Gender PS Lillian Omollo.
Following the application, the 12 charges of abuse of office and conspiracy to commit an economic crime were dismissed.
The application to withdraw the suit was based on Section 87(a) of the Criminal Procedure Code after witnesses who testified failed to directly or indirectly link the former PS.
"Upon evaluation of the request by the prosecution and since the same is not opposed by Omollo, l therefore allow the withdrawal of the charges under Section 87 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC)," Onyina ordered.
According to court documents, the irregular payments were made long before the PS took the oath of office.
However, the case against Ngirita and co-accused persons, as well as others, will continue.
