It is freedom at last for former Finance Minister Chris Okemo after more than 10 years of battle to stop extradition to the United Kingdom to face charges of money laundering.
Nairobi Chief Magistrate Roseline Oganyo Wednesday saved Okemo from the pain of travelling thousands of kilometres away from home to face the charges after ruling that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had not provided sufficient evidence to warrant the extradition.
