The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has applied to withdraw charges against former Permanent Secretary Lillian Mbogo-Omollo over alleged loss of Sh468 million at the National Youth Service (NYS).
In the application filed before an anti-corruption court in Milimani, the DPP applied to withdraw abuse of office and conspiracy to commit a felony charges among others, against the former PS for Public Service and Youth Affairs.
The DPP applied to withdraw charges against Ms Omollo under Section 87 (a) of the criminal procedure code saying none of the witnesses who have testified in the cases so far, has implicated her directly or indirectly.
Further, the DPP says in the application that the payments were concluded before she was appointed to the position and that she appointed a verification committee that only ensure only payable pending bills were recommended for payment, once she assumed office on December 18, 2015.
