A Kenyan court has allowed a request by public prosecutors to withdraw a 7.4 billion shillings corruption case against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
In his ruling, the anti-corruption magistrate, Victor Wakumile, granted the application by Director of Public Prosecutions citing insufficient evidence.
Justice Wakunile warned that the accused persons may be re-arrested in the future under the same or similar charges.
Gachagua, a former lawmaker, and nine other people, were charged with corruption, last July, he has denied any wrongdoing.
