The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has raised concern after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) withdrew charges in a corruption case involving Ksh 120 million in Nakuru, according to Kenyans.co.ke.
The withdrawal was reported on Tuesday, 20 October 2026. Kenyans.co.ke did not, in the material available, specify the number of accused persons involved or the reasons the DPP gave for dropping the case.
The development places the EACC's concerns on the record in a matter valued at Ksh 120 million. The commission's reaction, as reported by Kenyans.co.ke, signals unease over the outcome of a case it had pursued through the courts.
The relationship between the EACC and the DPP matters in Kenya's graft prosecutions, since the commission investigates and forwards files while the DPP decides whether charges proceed. A withdrawal at the prosecution stage therefore draws attention from the agency that built the case.
Kenyans.co.ke's report does not detail the grounds for the decision or any conditions attached to the withdrawal.
What to watch next: whether the DPP issues a public explanation for withdrawing the charges, and whether the EACC takes any further step in response.
