An anti-corruption court has allowed an application by the DPP to withdraw the Sh33 million graft case facing former cabinet secretary Michael Kamau.
DPP told Magistrate Victor Wakumile that there is no sufficient evidence to sustain the charges levelled against Kamau.
Nine witnesses had already testified in the case.
In December last year, President William Ruto appointed Kamau, Chairperson of the Nation Health and Insurance Fund (NHIF) board for a three-year term.
The former CS was facing charges of abuse of office and willful failure to comply with applicable procedures and guidelines relating to the management of public funds.
The particulars of the charges indicated that Kamau on March 15, 2008, wilfully failed to comply with the set rules by ignoring the design of Kamukuywa-Kaptama-Kapsokwony-Sirisia Road done by Engiconsult Limited at a cost of Sh33,303,600 and entering into a memorandum under which the resident engineer redesigned the same road without due process.
He denied the charges and was released on a cash bail of Sh500,000.
He unsuccessfully challenged his prosecution all the way to the Supreme Court.
The charges were withdrawn under section 87 a of the criminal procedure code.
