Hon. Lilian Omollo is finally off the hook in a multi-million NYS scandal that saw Kenya mysteriously lose over Ksh167 million through the power of a pen of people entrusted to protect the NYS funds.
Today, Milimani anti-corruption court presided over by Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina allowed the DPP to withdraw a Ksh. 167 million shillings NYS case against former Youth and Gender PS Lillian Omollo.
Subsequently, the Court dismissed the 12 charges of abuse of office and conspiracy to commit an economic crime against Hon. Omollo.
The ODPP relied on Section 87(a) of the Criminal Procedure Code to withdraw the charges.
According to the application to have Omollo set free, all the prosecution witnesses who testified against her failed to directly or indirectly link the former PS to the fraud.
“Upon evaluation of the request by the prosecution and since the same is not opposed by Omollo, l, therefore, allow the withdrawal of the charges under Section 87 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC),” Onyina ordered.
According to court documents, the irregular payments were made long before the PS took the oath of office.
