ACC 1 OF 2008 - Republic vs Justus Musyoka
Summary: The accused person was charged with two counts of soliciting a bribe as an inducement to forebear charging the complainant with the offence of selling changaa. The complainant reported the same to KACC for their action. However, the recorder which the prosecution's case entirely depended on, was left with someone who wasn't the KACC officers for a considerable amount of time, which raised doubt on its veracity. In light of this, the court had no alternative but to acquit the accused of both counts under Section 215 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
