Four Cabinet Secretaries whom the Director of Public Prosecutions cleared of corruption allegations are not free just yet. The cabinet secretaries – Charity Ngilu (Lands), Kazungu Kambi (Labour), Felix Koskei (Agriculture) and Davis Chirchir (Energy) – are likely to return to the court over other graft allegations against them, State House has said.
“That is why the President has not allowed the CSs or PSs to resume work,” the President’s spokesman, Mr Manoah Esipisu, said yesterday. Mr Esipisu said the officials are likely to be prosecuted on other counts that the DPP and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission are yet to make recommendations on.

“The President’s war on corruption has not hit any wall because he has not pronounced any CS or PS innocent or guilty,” Mr Esipisu told the Nation. “The fact that the EACC and the DPP have absolved some of them in one or two counts does not mean they are free on others. It is not yet done.
“We are aware of the fact people want to see some high-level prosecutions in the highlighted cases and they have a right to make the demands. The President’s war on graft has not been effected by what is happening at EACC or DPP’s office.”
