Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi is expected to give a ruling on July 17, 2023 on whether it will allow an application by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to withdraw charges in the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal case against former Youth Principal Secretary Lilian Omollo.
The ODPP petitioned the court on Friday to dismiss the charges, claiming that the 12 witnesses who have testified in the case have neither directly or indirectly implicated the ex-PS.
The ODPP also stated that it is evaluating the charges against the other suspects.
“The prosecution humbly prays that this application be allowed and the charges against the first accused person be withdrawn under section 87A of the criminal procedure code,” the ODPP told the court.
