The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Attorney-General have been granted a final opportunity to respond to a petition seeking the prosecution of Deputy Inspector-General of Police Eliud Lagat over the death of teacher blogger Albert Ojwang’.

High Court judge Justice Bahati Mwamuye issued the directive after lawyer Kibe Mungai, representing the petitioner, informed the court that the DPP had yet to file his response, stalling progress in the case.

“Noting the subject matter and taking into consideration the sentiments of the lawyers present today, a final opportunity shall be afforded to the respondents and interested parties who have not filed to do so,” Justice Mwamuye ruled.
