Nakuru Court Allows Withdrawal of KSh120 Million Corruption Charges Against Six Officials

Kelvin Kibet

October 20, 2026. A Nakuru court has allowed the withdrawal of corruption charges against six county officials after the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions told the court that available evidence did not link KSh120.48 million in payments to the disputed tenders.

What the development means

The withdrawal of charges is an important procedural development. It should not be reported as a conviction, and the initial accusations should not be repeated as if they were findings of wrongdoing. A criminal case depends on evidence capable of proving each element of an alleged offence.

What readers need to know

Readers should distinguish the precise court order from general claims that the entire county’s procurement practices have been cleared. Public spending remains subject to audit, independent of whether particular criminal charges proceed.

Further reporting and verification

Daily Report KE will continue to check official records and statements as new information becomes available. Claims and announcements should be distinguished from completed actions, and the rights of those affected should be respected. This account adds Kenya-focused context to the reported development without claiming independent eyewitness reporting.
