A Nairobi Anti-Corruption Court has allowed the prosecution’s request to withdraw the graft case against former Youth and Gender Principal Secretary (PS) Lillian Omollo over the loss of Ksh167 million at National Youth Service (NYS) for lack of evidence.

In a brief ruling on Tuesday, July 4, 2023, Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina allowed the Directorate of Public Prosecutions request to drop 12 charges of abuse of office and conspiracy to commit an economic crime against Omollo.

“Upon evaluation of the request by the prosecution and since the same is not opposed by Omollo, l, therefore, allow the withdrawal of the charges under Section 87 (a) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC),” Onyina ordered.

The magistrate, however, directed the case against Omollo’s co-accused persons, former NYS Director-General Richard Ndubai, the five members of Ngirita’s family and several former government officials to proceed to its logical conclusion.

This is after the DPP through state prosecutor Mercy Gateru only sought to drop charges against Omollo terminated saying none of the witnesses, who have testified in the case so far, has implicated her directly or indirectly with the scandal.
