In his judgement, Hon. Justice B.M. Musyoki declared that the DPP’s directive to drop charges of corruption, conflict of interest, abuse of office, and money laundering was irregular, opaque, and contrary to public interest. The judgement further revealed that the DPP acted unconstitutionally by disregarding the input of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the mandated investigative agency, and instead relied solely on submissions from Wycliffe Oparanya’s legal team.
