An affidavit by a senior Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officer could have driven the last nail into the coffin of a pending Sh7.3 billion corruption case against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and nine others.
In the latest of the string of withdrawal requests emanating from DCI and endorsed by the Office of Directorate of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), the lead investigator in the matter Kuria Obadiah has requested the matter against Gachagua be withdrawn.
It also emerged yesterday that another DCI officer, Martin Otieno, has recanted the bulk of evidence adduced in support of a constitutional case that featured prominently in turf wars between Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji and former DCI boss George Kinoti.
