The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has issued a clarification on reports that individuals linked to the infamous anti-Finance Bill protests are set to be charged in court.
ODPP was forced to quell tensions after a letter made the rounds on social media purporting that authorities had received and approved a communication from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
In the letter deemed as fake, four individuals were mentioned and accused of different crimes ranging from conspiracy to commit a felony, which is contrary to Section 393 of the Penal Code, and offenses related to money laundering and other financial crimes. "Following your communication dated September 24, 2024, regarding the investigation into the violent protests that occurred in Nairobi on June 25, 2024, I have reviewed the inquiry file on the four individuals," the fake letter read.
