- Korogocho MCA Absalom Odhiambo released on Ksh 100K cash bail
According to the commission, the case will act as a good precedent in regard to similar applications they have made against the same parties.
“The ruling creates a good precedent given the many petitions and Judicial Review Applications that EACC faces in the event of concurrent civil and criminal cases against the same parties. The decision will, in effect, reduce the time taken in the disposal of anti-graft cases.” said EACC
