The DPP has admitted that his office had no evidence to prosecute former Mungiki leader, Maina Njenga.
In an application filed before Nakuru court, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) sought to withdraw the case saying the weak evidence gathered by the police during their investigation cannot allow the case to crawl before any Court of law.
Nakuru court Principal Magistrate Kipkurui Kibellion in his ruling on Monday afternoon pointed out that the prosecution admitted they had no evidence to sustain the case.
The prosecution argued that the case be withdrawn on grounds that 20 witnesses who were lined up to testify were not willing to testify in court due to their relations with Maina Njenga.
The court further directed that the accused persons; Maina Njenga and 11 co-accused persons be discharged, their bonds refunded, and their phones returned.
Njenga and the co-accused persons were facing counts relating to membership in the outlawed criminal gang Mungiki and engaging in organized crime.
