Crime in Kenya offlate is pointing fingers at the men employed to maintain law and order and implementing justice.
The latest hit has landed on top boss Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji in millions theft allegations that will definately be controversial for the man in high ranks.
Dirty deeds involving Mr Haji have been exposed by an accused business man Stephen Vicker Mangara for exercising illegal powers as an intelligence officer by purporting to arrest and search him without just cause months before becoming DPP last year.
Haji was then with the National Intelligence Service.
The businessman told the court Haji threatened him with a gun at Reef Hotel on February 11, 2017, when he accompanied police officers on a raid on his car
“I accuse Mr Noordin Haji and Hamisi Salim Masha of jointly stealing Sh2,100,000,” testified Mangira who also added that the future DPP “pointed a gun at my head and conducted a search on my person.”
Mangira has sued the DPP and other state officers including the head of the anti-narcotics unit Dr Hamisi Salim Massa for malicious prosecution and wants Haji blocked from prosecuting him over conflict of interest.
He avers that the DPP cannot, independently, prosecute a matter he was, involved in before getting his current post.
But the Attorney General through state counsel Wachira Guyo opposed the application on the grounds that the DPP and Masa cannot be sued in their personal capacities for acts they performed as state officers acting in good faith.
