The office of the DPP has renewed its bid to transfer the Solai Dam case to Nairobi.
This came a week after Naivasha principal magistrate Joseph Karanja recused himself from the matter.
The matter is now before Naivasha chief magistrate Kennedy Bidali.
State Counsel Alexander Muteti told the magistrate that Karanja’s exit is proof the trial will not be fair and impartial if the matter is handled in Naivasha.
In the case, nine suspects have been charged with 48 counts of manslaughter and failing to prepare an environmental impact assessment report.
They are Perry Manusukh, Luka Kipyegen, Johnson Njuguna, Winnie Muthoni, Jacinta Were, Tomkin Odhiambo, Willice Omondi and Lynette Cheruiyot.
Muteti further argued that most of the witnesses are in Nairobi.
He asked for more time to hand over the witness statements and other documents to the defence.
Could the DPP be engaging in time wasting because he has secretly met with people? What do you think?
no the people involved (having lost everything) unless funded will not make it to nairobi due to poverty and discrimination .its only fair that the case is heard and determined near the victims and lets have media covering the hearing despite the location nor the citizen class.,…
