Former CS Henry Rotich's Court File in Arror, Kimwarer Case Goes Missing

The case was stopped on Monday after it emerged that the file where former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich challenged his prosecution in the dams’ scandal could not be tracked.

Judge Anthony Mrima requested the parties involved to give the court more time to find the file which was crucial for the ongoing trial.

Justice Mrima, therefore, announced a break as efforts were underway to recover it but the file was not traced at the registry during the break.

The judge informed the parties involved to appear before the High court Deputy Registrar once the file is located.

He further stated that once the file is found they will be given further directions on how the case will be heard.

Rotich wants the High Court to quash DPP Haji’s decision to charge him over the Kimwarer and Arror dams’ scandal.

On Thursday, July 15, the court handed a major victory in the Arror and Kimwarer dams’ scandal case after a magistrate court dropped two charges against Rotich.

Magistrate Douglas Ogoti stated that the prosecution failed to demonstrate how the charges were linked to Rotich.

The judge argued that the charges labeled against Rotich lacked specificity as to the actual facts demonstrating what was offended under the ACECA (Ant-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act) and under Public Finance Management (PFMA) Act.
