The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Attorney General (AG) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission EACC) have urged the High Court to strike out a case filed by Kangema Principal Magistrate Martin Kinyua, who seeks to block arrest and prosecution over a Sh150,000 bribe saga.
In their separate submissions before Justice Richard Mwongo, the three claimed that Kinyua is trying to evade his day in court without providing evidence that his rights have been violated.
The DPP, through prosecutors Duncan Ondimu, Eliphas Ombati and Abdisalam Bore, argues that the magistrate had failed to appear before court to answer to charges twice while knowing he was required to do so.
