EACC Reacts As DPP Withdraws Ksh 505 Million Corruption Case Against former Governor Okoth Obado

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has opposed the withdrawal of a corruption case against former Migori Governor Okoth Obado.

The Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) allegedly withdrew the Ksh 505 million graft case against Obado.

EACC claims it was sidelined in the talks despite court orders.

Obado had been investigated by EACC for mismanaging Migori County funds, theft of public funds and misuse of public office.

The EACC had auctioned some of his assets, citing unaccounted wealth recovering over Ksh 73 Million.

The DPP's move to withdraw the case has sparked public outcry, with Kenyans expressing concern on social media.

Many believe the DPP's office is the weakest link in fighting corruption, enabling perpetrators to go unpunished.

The Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) is pushing back against the withdrawal, seeking transparency and accountability in the case.

The public is watching closely, demanding answers and action from the DPP's office.
