Magistrate declines to quit Kimwarer, Arror dams case

A magistrate presiding over a case in which former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich and eight others are accused over the alleged loss of Sh55.8 billion for the construction of Kimwarer and Arror dams in Elgeyo Marakwet County has refused to recuse herself from the matter.

Senior principal magistrate Eunice Nyutu dismissed the application as sought by the prosecution saying it was a ploy to compel the court to adjourn the case ‘by any means necessary’.
