The widow of former Finance Minister Arthur Magugu scored her first win after the High Court allowed her to join Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Amin Mohamed in a Sh17 billion land dispute in Muthiaga North.

In a ruling on Thursday, August 1, High Court judge Lawrence Mugambi further allowed Ms Margaret Magugu to join Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga as well as the director of survey over the alleged failure to conclude a probe into alleged forgeries of documents relating to the land.
