Kenya’s Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has dropped 18 corruption cases involving county governments since 2013, including three in Isiolo, without consulting the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). The Senate County Public Accounts Committee questioned the move, while the EACC called for powers to prosecute. The ODPP said it acted within the law.
