“I am satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to support various charges under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act against the accused,” Haji said in a statement on Monday.
DPP Haji stated that the investigations by the DCI had confirmed the unjustifiable withdrawal that amounted to Sh177 million to the university.
