An early morning statement by Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko thwarted a spirited campaign to prosecute Auditor General Edward Ouko over procurement irregularities in acquiring the software used to unravel the full scope of the National Youth Service scam.
In the statement sent out to the media at crack of dawn yesterday, Mr Tobiko cleared Mr Ouko of all the three charges of corruption, but approved prosecution of retired Deputy Auditor General Stephen Kinuthia on expanded charges.
