Former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero’s son Ronald Odhiambo has been set free by the court in a ruling where the magistrate pointed at the weaknesses of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions in the case.
Ronald was accused of handling 40,000 liters of fuel which did not meet the requirements of the Kenya Bureau of Standards.
Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi acquitted Ronald in a case that had been marred with adjournments which dragged for 2 years. Andayi blamed the DDP’s office for lack of “willingness” and support in prosecuting the case.
The police file and the witnesses were not present in the court at the last adjournment of the case. The magistrate was forced to issue summons and eventually an arrest warrant against the investigating officer Vincent Langat.
Chief Magistrate Andayi also ordered that Ronald be refunded Ksh 100,000 he had paid as cash bail.
