The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has finally responded to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who recommended charges against Gachagua allies.
In a letter addressed to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations Amin Mohamed, the Office of the DPP approved the charges recommended by DCI and said there is sufficient evidence to proceed with the case.
“I write with reference to the above subject matter and your letter dated September 24, 2024. Upon careful perusal, the DPP has directed that there is sufficient evidence to charge the suspects with the offence of conspiracy to commit felony contrary to section 393 of the Penal Code.”

Signed by Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Vincent Monda, the response also suggested that a separate inquiry file should be opened for money laundering and financial crimes-related offences.
This comes after the criminal investigation agency wrote a letter to the Director of Public Prosecutions recommending that politicians allied to Gachagua be charged with various offences relating to the recent anti-government protests.
Among Gachagua allies set to be charged include MPs Benjamin Gathiru Mwangi (Embakasi Central) and James Mwangi Gakuya (Embakasi North), former MP George Theuri, Martin Deric Ngunjiri Wambugu and Mr Pius Munene after approval by the DPP.
However, Gachagua has dismissed the move by the DCI and DPP terming it a political move to soil his name and find grounds for his impeachment and has thus called upon the powers that be to stop using the criminal justice system to Intimidate him.

“The use of the criminal justice system to manage politics is an outdated political strategy that was used in the past. I am embarrassed that we are back to where we were. Harassment of my Office staff and Members of Parliament perceived to be close to me, has been going on for the last two months.”
