The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has written to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) seeking action into the aftermath of the Kenya Power-Nairobi County Government stand-off.
In the letter dated February 26, Jacinta Nyamosi, the Deputy DPP directed the DCI to launch investigations to determine the genesis of the clash, terming the dumping of garbage at the Stima Plaza as illegal and an imminent health hazard. "The occurrence has caused apprehension among the public and is, therefore, a matter of legitimate public interest.
Left unchecked the issue may snowball into a serious health hazard that might have multiple repercussions not only to the area of concern but the capital as a whole," a section of the letter read. "It is, therefore, prudent that investigations are commenced into the genesis of this matter for a viable solution to be achieved."
