Former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich has been acquitted In Ksh.63B Arror And Kimwarer Dams Case.
Trial Magistrate Eunice Nyutu says there is no evidence to warrant them being placed on their defense.
“All the accused persons in this case are hereby acquitted under section 210 due to lack of evidence as a result of the reckless dereliction of duty by the prosecution,” the magistrate said.
All the accused persons in this case were acquitted under section 210 due to lack of evidence as a result of the reckless dereliction of duty by the prosecution.
However, the court blamed the prosecution for leading 8 witnesses only out of the 49 witnesses they had intended to call.
“This would appear to be a prosecution led acquittal,” said Magistrate Nyutu.
The Magistrate also said no evidence was tabled to show that there was no procurement done concerning the two dams.
On November 20, Rotich asked the court to acquit him, saying that the narrative that money was lost or stolen was a fiction.
Rotich argued that the prosecution failed to prove its case by failing to call all its witnesses in the case.
