A Nairobi court has declined the Director of Public Prosecution’s (DPP) request to terminate the Kes 122 million forgery case against Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula and his two wives.

The DPP had sought to terminate the case, saying the contractual agreement with the Ministry of Information was valid.

Prosecuting counsel Wisley Nyamache told Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina that the ODPP did not wish to proceed with the criminal case against Savula and his co-accused.

Additionally, Nyamache told the court that the contractual agreement was the stratum of the Criminal case brought against Savula and the co-accused.

The prosecutor told the trial magistrate that the superior court had found that the government should pay Savula and his company Kes 58 million for breach of contract.

The prosecutor further said that the DPP has directed the DCI to investigate and bring to book the people behind the death of Jennifer Wambua, who passed on after giving evidence in the criminal case against Savula.

The deceased was a Prosecution witness number five, and she passed on 5tb April 2023.

Savula's case has taken six years since he was charged.

The trial magistrate reserved his ruling as to whether he will uphold the application by the DPP to terminate the criminal case.
