The Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) has claimed it is becoming difficult to prosecute former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich in a Sh63 billion dams scandal due to witness interference.
The DPP, through assistant prosecutor Alexander Muteti, spoke out after a witness who was scheduled to testify refused to take to the stand, saying he was not ready to give his testimony in the multi-billion shilling Arror and Kimwarer dams case.
"What we anticipated to be a smooth trial has turned to be a nightmare. It is a shock on us especially on the security of witnesses where a pattern is emerging which is not only shocking but can disturb the mind of any reasonable prosecutor," said Mr Muteti.
