EACC, DPP clash in court over withdrawal of Obado case

The Director of Public Prosecutions has been directed by the court to share with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission a plea bargain agreement that his office entered into with former Migori County Governor Okoth Obado and 17 co-accused in a corruption case involving the alleged misappropriation of 73.4 million shillings within three days. EACC, through its lawyer, objected to the plea bargain agreement during today's mention of the case at the anti-corruption court, arguing that the ODPP had not shared details and contents of the agreement, despite the anti-graft body being a key interested party in the case.
