High Court overrules DPP fertiliser case

The High Court declined an application by the Director of Public Prosecution to retest fertilizer for mercury.

The court was not convinced that there is sufficient ground to interfere with a

orders by the trial court directive that similarly declined to the same application.

Judge Daniel Ogembo of the High Court directed that the fresh taking of samples be taken for sampling on Thursday and tests to ascertain the mercury allegation be done on Friday.

The prosecution while opposing the decision to retest the fertilizer argued that the application has been brought after undue delay and the results.

The exercise will be carried out by officials from the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and the parties in the case together with a multi-agency team.
