The Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) has clarified on why it refused to charge 24 people arrested for flouting Covid-19 containment rules in Isiolo County.
This is after police on Monday said they failed to arraign the suspects for not wearing masks because the DPP, Isiolo County declined to register the charge sheets citing ‘lacuna in law’.
But in a statement posted on Twitter, the DPP insisted that police had only been asked to indicate the location of arrest in the charge sheet for each offender.
“ODPP was concerned that the location of arrest was (the) same for all offenders... The ODPP Isiolo County Head and County Police Commander have since resolved the issue and police directed to conform accordingly,” the statement read in part.
