There was drama at a Milimani courts early today after an Investigating officer in Sh 350million evading a warrant of arrest by a whisker.
This is because of the massive claims of him tempering with a case in which a director is charged with Sh 350m.
When the matter came up for mention today before Milimani trial magistrate Dolphina Alego , the prosecution prosecution sought more time to supply defence with documentary evidence before the case could proceed.
However, the duty magistrate declined and instead blamed the investigating officer who was present in court for delaying the proceedings over his personal targets.
The magistrate warned the investigating officer to stop playing games with the case which might be seen as a collusion with the accused persons to delay the case.
On the same note, the complainant in the same case where a former Company director Honey Khatwani has already been charged with over Sh 350M fraud told the court thatn Investigation Officer was delaying the case while playing tactics to delay justice.
When the matter appeared today before magistrate Dolphina Alego, the DPP was granted a last chance to supply documentary evidence and materials to the defendants so that the case can kick off.
The magistrate ordered so after the Investigation Officer failed to avail the documents again in court.
While seeking an adjournment, the state, through the DPP, asked for a week so they could supply the documents to the court a move opposed by the defense, who argued that his client has been affected by this matter and wants it to be heard and determined as soon as possible.
In her ruling, the trial magistrate Dolphina Alego directed the matter to be heard on the 10th,July 2025 after the defense and the prosecution agreed that the pre-trial be conducted on the same day, as well as the supply of the documents to the defense.
The magistrate has issued the last chance to the DPP and the I.O
According to the charge sheet, Khatwani is accused of stealing the money on diverse dates between January 1, 2020, and June 30, 2024, at Baba Dogo within Nairobi County. The funds, prosecutors said, came into his possession by virtue of his position as director.The accused is out on a cash bail of Ksh 5M with alternative bond of Ksh 10M.
He is said to have been threatening the witnesses and the complaints have strong feeling that the case is being frustrated by some Key Businessmen and Investigators.
