Director of Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko has said he needs time to study the Supreme Court’s judgement before making any comments.
According to reports, Tobiko wants the judgment scrutinized, before charging any IEBC official who will be found to have led to illegalities mentioned by the court, which were used to nullify President Kenyatta’s win.
Nasa has continued to demand for the prosecution of individuals who are said to have led to the bungled polls, piling pressure on the DPP’s office to act.
The opposition’s lead counsel James Orengo on Wednesday, after the full reading of judgment by the court judges said he will personally file a case to have all those involved charged.
According to the DPP’s Communication Director Beatrice Omari, who spoke to a local daily, their office has brought together a team of 105 prosecutors to deal with election offences and will advise on any action.
“Prosecution is a process not just taking people to court without sufficient evidence. The team of prosecutors is going to peruse through the judgement and look at the right laws to be applied in the prosecution,” Omari said as quoted.
“The full judgment has just come. It is too early for now to demand action because the team has to study the judgement first. Give us time to study then he (Tobiko) will direct,” she added.
