Court Grants Defense Four Months To Peruse Ksh1.57Bn Treasury Scandal Files

The defence lawyers in the KSh1.57 billion National Treasury scandal have been granted four months to scrutinise voluminous prosecution documents ahead of the hearing of the case. ‎ ‎Anti-Corruption Court Magistrate Rose Ndobi allowed the request after lawyer Bare Musa told the court that the defence needed sufficient time to examine the documents supplied by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). ‎ ‎Musa said the documents were voluminous and largely comprised bank statements, requiring adequate time for the accused persons and their lawyers to go through them. ‎ ‎Lawyer Danstan Omari separately urged the court to direct the EACC to bring the outstanding documents to court and serve all parties in person to avoid logistical challenges associated with their delivery.
