The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is in the eye of a storm. Its director, Noordin Haji has gained notoriety for withdrawing cases against some prominent people who had complained of political prosecution.

Haji's woes however pale in comparison to one his predecessors, Benard Chunga, when he found himself at the crosshairs of the Court of Appeal after he attempted to revive criminal charges against prominent banker, Stanely Munga Githunguri, 36 years ago.
