National Assembly Majority Leader Amos Kimunya is not off the hook yet in his fraud case following an appeal that was filed by the DPP against his acquittal.
In May last year, Anti-Corruption Magistrate Felix Kombo acquitted Kimunya, ruling that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case against him in his Sh60 million fraud case.
However, in June, the DPP filed an appeal against the acquittal of Kimunya and his two co-accused saying the court erred in law by setting them free.
In the case, the former Minister for Lands was charged with land fraud for allegedly illegally allocating public land to his company.
The alleged transfer of 25 acres to Midlands occurred on June 30, 2005, when he was Minister.
Kimunya, the then-Director of Land Adjudication and Settlement, Lilian Wangiiri Njenga, and businessman Junghae Wainaina were charged in 2014 with allocating public land to Midlands Limited, a company linked to the legislator.
Kimunya, Njenga and Wainaina were accused of abuse of office, failure to disclose private interest and fraudulent disposal of public property.
