Last week’s judgment that any charge sheet not prepared and signed by lawful prosecutors will be quashed by the court has escalated the row between the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

On Sunday, DCI boss George Kinoti directed his officers to stop recording statements, preferring charges and giving evidence in court.
