By Chris Ojow

In the application submitted by

Director of Public Prosecution before

the trial court , the DPP humbly

requested the court to withdraw the

murder charge against Cabinet Secretary

Aisha Jumwa.

Kenyan Constitutional Lawyer Danstan

Omari representing Cabinet Secretary

Aisha Jumwa stressed that the Director

of Public Prosecution have powers to

direct the Inspector General of National

Police Service to investigate any

information or allegations of criminal

conduct , nature and the directions

shall be adhered too.

In the case of Aisha Jumwa, the

Directorate of Criminal Investigations

(DCI), has been accused by several

complainants within the Country that

some of the Detectives abused their

powers and fabricated charges to please

their masters by arresting politically

influential leaders, whom the State

perceived to be a threat to their

political ambitions, the sentiments were

echoed by the interviewed members of

the public who aired their opinions on

the ongoing withdrawal of criminal

offences against politicians who were

charged.

Kenyan Director of Public Prosecution in

a lengthy submission where they filed

an application before a trial court and

served the defense, submitted on

grounds that the case before them was

allegedly fabricated due to political

difference and alleged witch hunt

against Aisha Jumwa , after the

accused defected from ODM and Joined the

ruling party UDA.

In several prayers the DPP informed the

court that after going through the

evidence level against Aisha, none of

the evidence presented warrant a

conviction.

On Wednesday 9th November year 2022 ,

the State made a similar application

where they submitted for the withdrawal

of a criminal case against the Country

Deputy President, giving same grounds of

fabrications of Criminal charge by

Directorate of Criminal Investigations

(DCI).

Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa’s lawyer

Danstan Omari after going through the

documentary evidence, which they were to

rely on in defending the accused ,

wrote a letter to DPP to review their

decision of charging the appointed State

Officer after they concluded in their

request that the evidence against the

accused is a storm in a tea cup.

Article 157 of the 2010 new Constitution

of the Republic of Kenya in clause six

roman (c) clearly states that : The

Director of Public Prosecution at any

given stage before the determination of

the case or a Judgement is delivered on

any criminal proceedings after keenly

going through the evidence, may

discontinue the proceedings and the

defendant shall be acquitted.
