The decision by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Renson Ingonga to withdraw graft charges against former officials of Geothermal Development Company (GDC) was not made in public interest, a Nairobi court has ruled.

While dismissing the application to withdraw the charges against Mr Nicholas Karume Weke, Peter Ayodo Omenda and former company secretary Praxidis Saisi, anti-corruption chief magistrate Thomas Nzyoki said public interest and the interest of the administration of justice in the case, lie in hearing the matter on merit as ordered by the Supreme Court in a ruling last year.
