The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) is seeking to withdraw Ksh505 million graft charges against former Migori Governor Okoth Obado as part of a plea bargain. This development comes amid questions regarding the full backing of all investigative agencies, as the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) clarified it had not signed the deal.

• The plea bargain agreement aims to settle the Ksh505 million graft case, with initial demands from EACC seeking to recover over Ksh1.9 billion.
• Key organizations involved are the ODPP and the EACC, with Obado facing charges for over four years since his arrest in August 2020.
• The court is expected to rule on the plea bargain this Friday, potentially settling charges that include abuse of office and money laundering.
