The Anti-Corruption Court has directed Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Ingonga to provide documentary evidence in the graft case against Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok within 30 days.

Trial Magistrate Celesa Okore on Wednesday issued the directive after the DPP, through his Senior Assistant DPP Vincent Monda and assisted by Mercy Gateru, Alex Akula, and Delroy Mwasaru, informed the court that the evidence against Governor Barchok was voluminous and required more time to compile.
