A petition has been filed challenging the appointment of Wycliffe Oparanya as the Cooperatives and MSMEs Development Cabinet Secretary.
The petitioner, Fredrick Mulaa, wants the court to declare Oparanya’s appointment illegal and revoke the Director of Public Prosecution order to review Oparanya’s case days before his nomination.
The petitioner accuses the DPP of usurping powers of the EACC in dropping the charges against the former Kakamega governor among them conflict of interest, abuse of office, money laundering and conspiracy to commit an offence of corruption.
