A Nairobi court has rejected an application by the Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji to amend charges against former Kenya Power boss Ben Chumo and 10 others after dropping charges against a company alleged to have supplied faulty transformer worth Sh400 million.

Chief magistrate Felix Kombo agreed with the defence lawyers that there is a likelihood of "filling gaps" in intended amendments of the charges, to strengthen the prosecution’s case.
