The Director of Public Prosecution suffered a major setback in the multi-million shillings Triton oil case after a magistrate dismissed his application for more evidence.

Anti-corruption court chief magistrate Lawrence Mugambi ruled that it will be unfair to allow the DPP to introduce new evidence since it will mean sending the accused persons back to the drawing board to prepare their defense.
