The Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji Wednesday dropped charges against former Kenya Power managing director Ben Chumo and 10 others after police failed to conduct further investigations to strengthen areas identified as weak thus failing to secure a conviction.

Mr Haji through a prosecutor told chief magistrate Felix Kombo that he wrote to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on four occasions, pointing out inconsistencies and areas that needed watertight evidence. The court heard that the DCI failed to respond to the four letters sent to him between October 18 last year and May 22, this year.
