Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is free of the burden of a Ksh 7 billion graft case. The anti - corruption court dropped charges against the Deputy President on recommendations made by the prosecution. The case had been pending heating for 15months.

Wakumile recommended an independent office of a pre-trial judge be established to weigh criminal cases before they are taken for trial.
