Dr. Fred Matiang’i

Former Interior Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Fred Matiang’i, is now a free man after he was cleared of charges by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP). 

The decision was made after the evidence presented against him was deemed insufficient by the ODPP’s independent analysis.

 The former CS was facing charges of conspiracy to commit a felony and publication of false information.

Dr Matiang’i was blamed for clipping Dr Ruto’s powers when the latter served as the country’s Deputy President.

The investigating officer had recommended that Dr Matiang’i and his advocate Mr Omari be charged with conspiracy to commit a felony contrary to section 393 of the Penal Code and for publication of false information contrary to section 23 of the Computer and Misuse and Cybercrime Act No. 5 of 2018.

However, Mr Haji said that after an independent and thorough analysis of the evidence availed and a review of the statements of the witnesses, he found that the evidence provided was not sufficient to sustain the above charges against the two.
