The Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) is appealing a High Court decision that acquitted Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya in a case concerning the alleged unlawful acquisition of public funds and conflict of interest.

• The High Court ruling on March 4 barred investigative agencies from pursuing criminal proceedings and awarded the governor Ksh2.5 million in damages.
• Key parties involved include the ODPP, Governor George Natembeya, the DCI, and the EACC.
• The prosecution had accused Natembeya of unlawfully acquiring KSh3,252,568 through transactions linked to companies doing business with the Trans Nzoia county government.
