The Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) Thursday appealed the ruling by the High Court to reduce controversial pastor Paul Makenzi and 29 other murder charges from 191 to only 12.

The DPP told the Court of Appeal in Malindi that the High Court erred in law and fact, and contravened the Constitution in directing the amalgamation of the cases.
