A Nairobi anti-corruption court has allowed the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to withdraw the Ksh73.5 million graft case against former Migori Governor Okoth Obado, his four children, and several associates.

In a ruling delivered on Friday, May 15, by Senior Principal Magistrate Celesa Okore, the court found that the DPP did not in any way abuse his power in settling the matter out of court.

The court also ordered the release of all passports and the refund of cash bail that had been deposited by the accused persons during the trial.

The case, which revolved around allegations of corruption and embezzlement of public funds during Obado’s tenure as Migori Governor, was withdrawn after the recovery of Ksh235 million said to have been paid back to the government.
