“I told you I was clean and I have forgiven my aggressors because I knew from the beginning that the case will be withdrawn. It is over now let me now continue with my own life.”
These were the word of former an ecstatic Lands Cabinet secretary Charity Ngilu soon after a Nairobi court yesterday terminated a criminal case against her over the Sh8 billion Karen land saga.
The Narc party leader, who has maintained her innocence over the matter, which has been in the court since 2015, claimed the case was aimed at tarnishing her name.
The former CS while addressing journalists outside the court said she has finally been vindicated against graft allegation charges . “There is no doubt that the events have been aimed at smearing my character, reputation and long public service career.
What stood between my detractors and me is the truth,” she said. She said the Karen land was double-allocated to one Horatius da Gama Rose of Muchanga Investments and Jos Konzolo of Telesource.Com Limited before her time as Lands CS.
“This happened long before I became Cabinet secretary for Lands, Housing and Urban Development,” she said. Yesterday, chief magistrate Lawerence Mugambi of Milimani Anti-Corruption Court freed her after receiving an order from Court of Appeal which declared the trial unconstitutional.
