The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji intents to drop corruption chrges against former Youth and Gender PS Lillian Omollo over the loss of Ksh468 million at National Youth Service (NYS) citing lack of evidence.
The former PS is presently facing three distinct allegations regarding Ksh226.9 million, Ksh167 million, and Ksh60 million in losses at NYS.
In the case she is accused of authorising payment of the monies for goods not supplied at NYS in the financial year 2015-2016 and 2016-2017.
In an application filed before Milimani Anti-Corruption Court, the DPP through state prosecutor Vera Hamisi seeks to have three corruption cases against Omollo terminated saying none of the 37 witnesses who have testified in the cases so far, has implicated her in the scandal.
“None of the witnesses have given any evidence that directly or indirectly incriminates Omollo,” says DPP.
Among other reasons, the DPP wants the case dropped is that the procurement process involving the tender for the supply of goods at NYS was concluded before Omollo was appointed to the office of the PS, State Department of Public Service and Youth on December 15, 2015.
