Henry Rotich appeared before Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti on Wednesday and a new charge sheet was presented to court after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) amended the old one.

The prosecution has however removed names of former PSs Kamau Thugge and Susan Koech who had been charged together with Rotich.

Kamau and Koech will now act as witnesses against Rotich during the hearing that is scheduled to start.

Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has also removed the names of 20 Italians who are still at large from the charge sheet and they will be charged separately.

Rotich has denied all the charges read against him by Ogoti together with all the others accused alongside him.

DPP said the evidence in the case remains the same and they will not be introducing new documents neither shall they be introducing new witnesses.

“Currently there are two active cases, we had indicated we have no intention whatsoever to consolidate the two as much as they may share some accused persons, majority of the accused persons are different in the two cases,” the prosecution said.
