The Anti-Corruption Court has given Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga 14 days to involve the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) in the out-of-court negotiations over the Sh505 million graft case against former Migori Governor Okoth Obado.

Milimani Magistrate Charles Ondieki on Friday directed the DPP to convene a joint meeting with the EACC and the defence team to iron out underlying issues raised by the Commission, which has opposed the plea bargain agreement filed in court seeking to withdraw the case.
