“That leave granted herein shall operate as a stay of the decision by the DPP contained in the charge sheet dated July 14, 2026, and of any arrest, arraignment, charging, prosecution or further criminal proceedings against the applicants pending the hearing and determination of the substantive judicial review application,” the judge directed.

The High Court has temporarily barred the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) from prosecuting a former officer in the Nairobi County Urban Planning and Technical Committee over the collapse of Manzil Towers in South C, which killed two people earlier this year.“Having heard the application by Mr Omari, I hereby grant leave to Mr Analo and David Kibui Kigathi to apply for orders seeking to quash the decision by the DPP to charge them with abuse of office arising from the collapse of Manzil Towers in South C, Nairobi,” the judge ruled.
