Court orders DPP to probe Mai Mahiu flood deaths High Court directs police to complete investigations and ensure those found culpable are charged. Nakuru 16 min ago

The 1st and 3rd respondents (DPP and the police) acted quickly, and had individuals, including the owners and managers of the dam, and some State officers, arrested and charged in court over the incident,” the court said.

The court observed that after the Solai disaster, the police investigated the incident and forwarded the file to the DPP, who subsequently initiated criminal proceedings.

In a judgment, the court criticized the slow pace of investigations, noting that unlike the 2018 Solai Dam disaster, where investigations were completed and criminal charges brought against those deemed responsible, the government had done little to ensure accountability for the Mai-Mahiu tragedy.
