Solai dam owner Perry Mansukh has hit out at the Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji accusing him of allegedly delaying his trial.
Mansukh claims that his trial has never started after being dragged to court and charged with manslaughter.
Through his lawyer Professor Tom Ojienda, Mansukh now wants the DPP to drop the case against him if he is not ready to proceed.
“The DPP is deliberately delaying this trial for his own reason because we have never been supplied with witnesses statements,” he told journalists at the Naivasha law courts on Tuesday.
Mansukh said that he will seek to block the case if DPP allegedly continues to slow it down.
The DPP has however rubbished the claims noting that witnesses statements and evidence material has been supplied to all the accused persons.
The DPP through Senior Asssistant Director of Public Prosecutions Alexander Muteti said that the case pretrial has been scheduled for October 19.
Mansukh and eight other accused persons were charged in May over the death of 48 people after the Solai dam broke its banks.
