Withdrawal of murder cases

There was a dip in number of cases withdrawn in 2020 attributed to the trend since then has been on the increase and is projected to slightly drop in 2023 before again increasing in 2024 and 2025.

A high number of cases withdrawn in 2018 is attributed to an application by former CS Eng. Kamau which challenged cases filed in court when EACC was dimmed not properly constituted. The cases withdrawn slightly increased in 2021 before decreasing marginally in 2022 and the decreasing trend is projected to continue over the next two years where a zero withdrawal will be attained in 2024. This is in line with our strategy of implementing the decision to charge policy which require study preparation of case before being presenting before a court of law.
