DPP Noordin Haji Comes to Rescue of Garbage Collector implicated of drug trafficking

The Director of Public Prosecutions, Noordin Haji, on Wednesday while opening up a social justice center in Changamwe, Mombasa, he assured residents his office would listen to their cases by sending an official to them every month.

“Nitaangalia hiokesi, nawahakikishiakwambamtapatahaki (I will look into the case and I assure you justice will be served),” the DPP stated in a press statement. He also asked area OCPD to issue him with the case file in order for him to look into the case.

The woman continued recalling how two people had been arrested, adding that one had even been diagnosed with Tuberculosis.

“Tumejikakamua tumekopa Ksh 40,000 ya cash bail(We have had to take up a loan of Ksh 40,000 so as to post bail),” she added.
