DPP Gives Final Verdict on Prosecution of Gachagua Allies & Staff

DPP Gives Final Verdict: The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has approved the charges against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s allies and staff, giving A go ahead for their prosecution.

In a letter penned to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss Mohamed Amin, DPP Renson Argued that there was adequate evidence to charge the suspects with the offence of conspiracy to commit a felony contrary to section 393 of the Penal Code.

Further, the ODPP ordered a separate inquiry file be opened for money laundering and financial crimes-related offences and the police inquiry file returned to Ingonga’s office.

He stated,”The inquiry file was placed before the Director of Public Prosecutions for perusal and directions. Upon careful perusal, the DPP has directed that there is sufficient evidence to charge the suspects with the offence of conspiracy to commit a felony contrary to section 393 of the Penal Code,”

This comes a day after DCI Boss Amin preferred charges against Embakasi North Member of Parliament James Gakuya alongside his Embakasi Central counterpart Benjamin “Mejja Donk” Gathiru.

The duo was charged with financing and mobilising Kenyans to demonstrate during the recent anti-government protests witnessed in the country.

In his report, the DCI boss stated that the two were implicated following an intelligence report that alleged that the said lawmakers indeed instigated the protests.
