Former Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal has been acquitted of a Ksh84.5 million corruption conviction after the High Court overturned an earlier ruling. His legal team successfully argued that the State failed to provide sufficient evidence linking him directly to alleged fraudulent transactions.

• The High Court cleared Lenolkulal of charges including conflict of interest and unlawful acquisition of property, reversing a August 2024 Anti-Corruption Court ruling.
• The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has now lost another high-profile corruption case, with a total of 18 graft cases withdrawn from 15 counties since 2013.
• The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) emphasized that its lack of prosecutorial powers severely hinders its efforts to hold corrupt officials accountable and recover stolen public funds.
