Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has asked Government officials to stay away from the office of Public Prosecution ODPP so that the office can deliver its mandate with utmost impartiality.
The statement from the second in command coming just days after his boss took issue with the department.
Kindiki who was speaking during the launch of the ODPP Strategic Plan 2023-2027 in Nairobi, maintained that the prosecutor’s role will not rely on outside forces
”The decisions you make on who to prosecute, which prosecution to terminate, those, nobody should interfere with that decisional independence,” Kindiki stated.
”Independent institutions and offices are independent in four aspects, decisional independence, that you have the independent decision to act without interference from any authority or quotas,” he added.
This comes just 13 days after President Ruto while giving the State of the Nation Address at the National Assembly on November 21, faulted the ODPP and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) for failing to prosecute graft suspects. He further pointed an accusatory finger at the Judiciary for not concluding graft cases fast enough.
