Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji has directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to close an inquiry targeting former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i on grounds that there isn't sufficient evidence to sustain the charges.
In a letter dated March 13 and signed by Deputy DPP Lilian Obuo, the prosecutor pointed out that he evidence given by the police was short of the requisite factors needed for them to make the decision to charge him in court. Previously, Dr Matiang’i's legal team had indicated that he would be charged with conspiracy to commit a felony and publication of false information regarding an alleged raid at his Karen home.
