Former Kenya Power managing director Ken Tarus became the latest beneficiary of the prosecution's change of heart in dropping corruption cases.
Anti-corruption court chief magistrate Elizabeth Juma allowed the application by the Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji to withdraw the Sh159 million corruption case against Dr Tarus on the basis that there was no evidence linking him to the scandal.
"The court cannot compel the DPP to proceed with a case he does not wish to proceed with and as such, the court allows the application to withdraw the charges against the first accused under section 87(a) of the civil procedure code," Juma said.
